Appreciation banquet held
Mariska Smith, 3, and Eva Grimm, 2, were enjoying their afternoon at the recent 10th annual public service appreciation and veterans appreciation barbecue hosted by Jared and Michelle Clinger of Colonial Funeral Home. This year’s menu was especially tasty due to the culinary talents of John Perkes, owner of FAT BBQ and full-time employee of Colonial Funeral Home.
Each year, all law enforcement agencies — Pocatello Police, Chubbuck Police, Pocatello Fire Department, Chubbuck Fire Department, Idaho State Police, Idaho State University public safety, and Bannock County Sheriff Department, as well as all Pocatello veterans and their families — were invited to come and enjoy brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and chicken.
Perkes has won regional awards for his barbecue rubs and sauces. This year he is looking forward to a national barbecue event in Kansas City.
Clinger added, “We should be grateful to all public safety personnel and veterans who have made and continue to make this country the greatest on earth.”
