Thrill of the grill

The thrill of the grill...in the chill.

Debbie Woods cooks food wearing earmuffs at 302 Carry Out on Tuesday. The grill fires up in early spring and goes into early winter, depending on the temperature.

Debbie has been fixin' sandwiches on the outside grill for six years. 302 has operated the fast and convenient grill for 29 years, that's a lot of burgers, dogs, steaks and, everyone's favorite, porky burgers. (Monty Siekerman)

Lewis Family McDonald's preparing for 11th annual Thanksgiving Day dinner

As the holiday season approaches, Lewis Family McDonald’s has begun preparing for their annual Thanksgiving Day Dinner.

The dinner, started in 1989 by the Chester Carey Family, is now in its 11th year under the Lewis family.

The dinner will be held on Thursday, Nov. 26, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Lima Veteran’s Memorial Civic and Convention Center.

“We recognize the importance of having a place for people to eat and fellowship on a special day like Thanksgiving,” says Jerry Lewis. “Our community continues to support the event by donating clothes and groceries and by serving at the dinner.”
