PEMBROKE-lt wasn't exactly a "down east pig pkkin,"' but it was close! A local pastor, Rev. Manfozd Locklear of Beulah Baptist Church in Maxton, recently donated a pig to Odum Home. And the campus students and staff enjoyed a scrumptious dinner of barbecue and all of the things which go along with it. The event started early in the day as campus staff member Har vey Brewington supervised the cooking of the pig, assisted by houseparent Bruce Atkin? Throughout the day, various campus residents followed their noses down to the campus farm to check on the pro gress of the undertaking. By around dinnertime, the main course was ready. The barbecue was chopped up and brought to the campus gym, where it was placed on the table alongside other fixin's provided by the cottages. In atten dance were all of the kids, as well as staff living both on and off campus. The evening event was topped off with a vesper service, a fitting conclusion to a time of fellowship and togetherness. THE "CHEF" GETS THE SPOILS?After spending most of the day cooking the pig, Odum Home staff member Harvey Brewington (left) gets j to sample the results of his efforts. ? fcfrs-?M i ? 1 ,i ?Ssia?mmtmrnrnm? rWith The High Cost of Keeping 1 Your Home Beautiful, Let....
