Calling All Reinholds Pennsylvania Fans of The Carnival!




I'm sending out some shouts to anyone who is or has been a fan or attendee of the wonderful Reinholds Fire Company Carnivals. I grew up going to The Carnival and have incredible and fond memories of those days.
What I am searching for is a recipe for the unique Pork Barbecue Sandwiches that have been served at The Carnival for many, many years. For those of you who have had them, you KNOW how different and delicious they are. For those uninitiated, they are not tomato based, I don't recall a vinegar essence either. They are comprised of tender shredded pork, in a thick, savory sauce that sticks to the meat and is in no way thin or runny. Served on a hamburger bun, there is nothing like it.
I've messed around with my best guesses to the recipe but would LOVE to be able to post the real deal here.

I'm contacting folks back home to see if they have the recipe or know someone that does. If you have any ideas, please comment me here!
The Carnival burgers are easy...thanks to Earl and Mabel Weaver :)

Welcome To Spring 2011!

Some of the first signs of Spring are the scallions, sugar peas and asparagus bounties from our gardens or at the roadside farmstands. What a welcome sight!
Winter is done. It really wasn't all that bad from this viewpoint. At least there was no blizzard this year :)
The Easter season is very special and important to me. And not for the bunnies and chocolate :)
It's time for Spring cleaning, going over the grounds and gathering up downed twigs and branches, planting some favorite things, just sprucing up overall. I do have plans for a firepit group area to relax by at night. Also I  want to work on my grill area too.

There will soon be more recipes here. I have many to go through from the family stash :)
Have a glorious Friday! It's supposed to be in the mid 70s here today!
