Rowayton Fire Department
Welcome to Spring BBQ - Saturday, May 8 - 3:00 - 7:00
Come down and welcome spring with some smoked meats, cold beer and live music from two local bands:
Cam Lawrence and Friends and The Paul Green Rock Academy.
After a long winter of being cooped up, join us for a well spaced out afternoon of outdoor fun. We'll have ribs, pulled pork, chicken lollipops, burgers, hot dogs, freshly cut French fries, and a couple of surprises.
This is not a ticketed event, it is FREE to attend. Food and drinks will be sold a la carte. Come down to hang out for a bit, listen to some music, eat a little food, and have a cold beverage.
Please RSVP at Rowayton Fire Department just so we can keep track of the numbers and have a sense of how much food to order. We will launch a website next week with a menu if you want to order in advance for pickup.

Whether it’s fertilizer or plastic, it all ends up in the same place: Long Island Sound. This spring, please avoid fertilizing your lawn with traditional pesticides and instead pledge to be pesticide-free. Chemical fertilizers run off into the water, poisoning sea creatures, birds, and eventually humans, as it ends up in our food. Roundup is toxic and dangerous, with the active ingredient derived from Agent Orange. We recommend organic lawn and garden care which is friendly to pollinators, birds and humans. Going organic doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice an aesthetically pleasing lawn, and it certainly doesn’t mean that you have to devote long hours to tending your lawn. For more information about organic fertilizers, please visit the Rowayton Gardeners website.
