The Fleming Fire Department started their annual Father's Day barbecue event at 11 a.m. Thirty nine minutes later, all 702 meals were gone.
"I had a good feeling that we were going to have a good day and we absolutely did," Chris Lawton, the event's committee chair, said.
This year, the fundraiser had to be done a little differently to ensure social distancing amid the coronavirus pandemic. The department set up a tented drive-thru system next to the station at 6063 W. Lake Road in Fleming so no one would have to leave their vehicles.
The first people showed up at 9:30 a.m., an hour and a half before the official start. They weren't able to get barbecue at Owasco FD's Memorial Day event before they sold out, Committee President Matthew Kidd said.
