A Labor Day tradition in Rome and Floyd County continues Monday.
The 56th annual Knights of Columbus Labor Day Barbecue is at the Rome Civic Center.
According to Chris Lewis with the Knights of Columbus, there will be old favorites and something new this year.
Walk-up and dine-in service begins at 10 a.m. and continues until 2 p.m. or sold out.
According to Chris Lewis with the Knights of Columbus, there will be old favorites and something new this year.
“Barbecued pork, barbecued beef, Brunswick stew, half chickens, half racks of ribs, and baked beans, but this year, the new item that we’re adding is Pork Carnitas,” he said. “That’s a slow-cooked pork shoulder that’s nice and juicy. We’ve got some corn tortillas with it, so there’s a little bit of an international flavor. Those plates will be $12 along with our other plates of barbecue pork, barbecue beef plates, and chicken plates–those are also all $12.”
During the previous 55 years, more than $300,000 had been raised for local charities.
