Do U BBQ? And make (Seg)way

Yep, that’s yours truly... on a Segway.

I was at the Lake Mary Rotary’s Chompin’ Stompin’ BBQ the other night at Seminole Harley Davidson in Sanford. Great event, but since I’m a vegetarian, I left the chompin’ to my friends and went to check out the alternate activities. And ran into Josh, who runs the Segway tours at the Central Florida Zoo. They had a little obstacle course set up in the Harley parking lot and I had to give it a try.

Those Segways are great fun. I'll be ready for the zoo tour any day now. And I was just clowning for the camera there. Really.

Back in the main event area, several area restaurants – including 4 Rivers, Route 46, Rivership Romance and even, believe it or not, Central Florida Regional Hospital – offered samples of their cuisine.

Local dignitaries were on hand as well, among them Judge Linda Schoonover (in the red, dishing up food), Judge Fred Schott (on the left in the center photo) and Lake Mary Mayor David Mealor (bottom photo.)





But what about the food? There was plenty for a plant-eater -- salads and chips and salsa and some ice cream from Mama Loca’s. As for the BBQ, judging by the sauce dripping off the chins of my dining companions, I’d have to say it was pretty good.

We’ll be posting more photos of the event on our website soon.
