Battlefords Strong BBQ aims to bring community together
North Battleford businessman Shawn Wagner spent Thursday afternoon behind the barbeque grill, cooking hamburgers and hot dogs for visitors for free.
He said he wanted to do a kind gesture for the community, and thought giving away a hot lunch would be a good start.
“It’s my community and I am just trying to give back,” Wagner said. “It was the first time; I am going to try to start doing it a little more. It was a good event. We gave away a lot of food.”
Some local residents, as well as crews working on the city water main repairs, dropped in to grab a bite over the lunch hour.
