Goderich Lions to host 50th annual beef BBQ Goderich Lions Club invite residents and visitors to Goderich to their 50th annual beef barbecue held at Lions Harbour Park. The Sunday, June 30 event will run from 3:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. prior to the fireworks display that are scheduled that same evening by the Town of Goderich. “We’re excited to celebrate the 50th annual Goderich Lions Beef BBQ,” said Michael Daley. “This event has been a staple in the community for many years. Our 50 years of success are made possible by the citizens of Goderich and the surrounding communities who continue to come out and support this incredible event.” Those who attend the barbecue can expect to eat a full plate of hot roast beef, a baked potato, coleslaw, dinner roll, a beverage and top it all off with some ice cream. Daley added that Lions Park – weather permitting – is the ideal event location because attendees will be near the waterfront with plenty of time to grab a good seat before the fireworks begin that same evening. Tickets cost $23 per adult in advance, or $25 at the door. Children under 12 costs $15. Tickets are available from Fisher Glass, Fincher’s Goderich Tourism, and through any Goderich Lions Club member. Rain location will be Goderich Memorial Arena.
