LAKEPORT >> People Services Inc. (PSI) invites community members to mark their calendars for fun at this year’s annual Chicken-Que, scheduled for Saturday, June 2, at the Lake County Fairgrounds, 401 Martin Street.
The 2-6p.m. event with a country-picnic theme will feature food, music, children’s activities, a raffle, auction and door prizes. Tickets are $10 each or four for $30. For ticket and event information, call (707) 263-3810 or visit PSI’s website, www.peopleservices.org.
“Come join us for fun, delicious food, and top-notch entertainment,” said PSI Executive Director Ilene Dumont. “The Chicken-Que is not just about chicken — the chicken is delicious, by the way. We’ll have meal alternatives, however, and we are planning a 50-50 raffle, a silent auction, and a children’s activities area.”
Music will be provided by the LC Diamonds, known for its upbeat vintage tunes. “The Diamonds play a variety of dance songs — from rock and blues to rockabilly and surf — always entertaining!” said Dumont.
Chicken meals will include “tasty barbecued chicken, the best-baked beans ever, salad and a roll,” added Dumont. For those who prefer hamburgers or hot dogs, meals featuring those entrees will be available. “We also will have a special plate for our vegetarian friends.”
This year’s event will include a special partnership with Paradise Skating “to enhance your entertainment choices for you and your little ones.”
The annual event is a fundraiser for the nonprofit PSI, which serves as the local community agency, providing the delivery of quality services for people with disabilities. PSI has been in business for more than 40 years, and this is the 44th year of the Chicken-Que.
Sponsors for this year’s event include Westamerica Bank, Umpqua Bank, North Lake Medical Pharmacy, Figg Creations, and Savings Bank of Mendocino County. Dumont says there is still time to join the “team of sponsors” that represent the driving force behind the success of this event. Sponsorships start at $250.00. For information, call Dumont at (707) 263-3810.
