This was our second time attending the Winchester Area Volunteer Fire Department’s Annual Fish Fry & Auction. The proceeds of this event are used to purchase equipment.

Yesterday we went to the Serbin Picnic. Half of it, anyway. At 2pm, we packed up and headed southeast to East Bernard. I’ll write about that later. I’ll mostly let these photos speak for themselves, but lemme tell you… the barbecue was good!
