Everytime my wife, Gerry, and I read the sign with the words above on Main Street in Fort Bragg we crack up.
Is this a chicken barbecue for a FAMOUS CATHOLIC? Or is a FAMOUS CATHOLIC CHICKEN being honored with a barbecue. Or is the barbecue famous? Is there such a thing as CATHOLIC CHICKEN? Catholics are famous for their guilt, why not chicken?
Ah, the vagaries of punctuation.
The actual flyer tells us that from noon to 7 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 5, there will be a BBQ — the 53rd Annual — at Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church, corner of Harold and Maple Streets in Fort Bragg.
You get 1/2 of a BBQ chicken, green salad, Mexican beans, rice, garlic bread and all the dessert you can eat, plus punch or coffee. A full order is $13, a half order, $8. Beer and margaritas will be for sale, as well.
There will be games and activties for kids and adults, including bingo, tractor rides, a water slide, horseshoes, and an hourly raffle.
Sounds like it will be a famously fun event whether you’re Catholic or not.
