Update: Claude Moore Farm Fundraiser BBQ Postponed to Oct. 8

Last month, McLean’s Claude Moore Farm announced it would host a barbecue fundraiser for the community on Friday, Oct. 2.

However, due to inclement weather throughout the area this week, a spokesperson for the fundraiser told Patch the event has been moved to Thursday, Oct. 8, to avoid the rain.

The barbecue will run from 6-9 p.m., and will feature delicious food and fun activities for the whole family.
