Lancaster County Ox Roasts?

By
Real Estate Agent with RLAH@properties AB95346

About 30 years ago, I drove with a friend up to Lancaster County on a gorgeous fall day.  Our destination was an ox roast put on as a fund raiser for the Bird-in-Hand, PA volunteer fire department.  We just stumbled on it.

The food was amazing.  The people-watching was really fun.  There were buggies and black bumpered cars in the parking lot.  The food was awesome - creamed corn, pies and oh!  The ox!  After stuffing our faces, we stocked up on baked goods offered for sale then waddled back to DC. 

So, this fall, I really want to do another ox roast.  Does anyone know when and where there might be one?  The volunteer fire department of Bird-In-Hand, or any other little community up there, needs my support!

So any of you Rainers up that way who can lead me along the path to an ox roast, I'll meet you there and buy you lunch!

I'll email my friend who lives in Lancaster and see if he knows of anything happening.

Patricia,

Just stumbled on your post! Had to comment. Ox roasts ARE AWESOME! We used to have one every year at our firehouse in Collegeville, PA. They stopped it many years ago. They would roast the entire ox on a spit very slowly by hand! The kids loved to watch. I think it took a couple of days to cook it thoroughly, but I remember it tasting awesome. Thanks,   Fran
