Toka's Friends Annual Pig Roast
Sunday, September 21st, 1pm
****IMPORTANT****
PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF THE LOCATION FOR THE PIG ROAST
1541 Main Rd, Westport MA
Our annual pig roast event is a fun, casual event for us to gather with our family, friends, neighbors, veterans and donors to celebrate the end of the summer season. We don’t consider this to be a fundraising event – we simply want people to come and have a good time. But if you are so inclined, you can click the Donate button above …
Join us for an afternoon of music, games, great food and camaraderie. Arrive anytime after 1pm. The pig should be ready for eating around 4. Bring a lawn chair and your own beverages. If you would like to bring food to share, please coordinate with Kate so that we don’t have too much food.
We need a headcount so that we can roast an appropriately sized pig. If you think you might like to be here for the fun, please send a note to Kate either by text or email. Her phone number is 508-212-9787 and email is katehowd@gmail.com
We hope you can join us for the afternoon!
