Hog roast benefits historic church

Homegrown sweet corn, grilled pork chops, pulled pork sandwiches, homemade bread and desserts are all on the menu for the eighth annual Hog Roast sponsored by the Crossroads Lutheran Church Historical Preservation Society.

The event will take place from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Saturday July 26, at the Josiah Cromer Homestead Barn (now Howell Farms) near Middletown. Dinner will be served in the historic, circa 1857, bank barn with massive hand-hewn beams. Outside, under the shade of the old sycamore, visitors can relax and enjoy gospel and bluegrass music presented by local musicians.

During the evening, the Church at Crossroads will be open for browsing memorabilia from the archives. Proceeds from the evening will go to the society for the maintenance and preservation of the historic church.
