PIQUA – The Piqua Rotary Club will offer a drive-thru service again this year for their annual Election Day dinner.

The service is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 5, in the parking lot of Jamieson & Yannucci Funeral Home in Piqua from 4-6:30 p.m.

Event Chair Jim McMaken predicts another great turnout of residents who repeatedly support this popular Election Day event.

“This year, we are serving pulled pork again which continues to be a crowd favorite in the world of barbecue. Once again, TK’s Barbeque-N-Fixins will be preparing the meals.” McMaken said in a press release.

Participants are asked to enter the parking lot from High Street and exit the lot onto Water Street. Piqua Rotary Club members will be on-site to assist drivers with instructions.

As election results are tabulated, Piqua voters and their families are encouraged to support the Rotary fundraiser which is served by local Rotarians. Each dinner consists of pulled pork, mac-n-cheese, baked beans, a cookie, a roll, and a bottle of water. Tickets are $11 each and can be purchased in advance from any Piqua Rotary Club member, Readmore’s Hallmark, or the UVMC/Premier Health Branch YMCA in Piqua.

While guests are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance some will be available at the event.

Proceeds from the Rotary dinner are used to support scholarships for local students throughout the year in addition to the Piqua City School’s kindergarten reading program.

The Piqua Rotary Club has traditionally hosted this dinner on Election Day at the Upper Valley Career Center, but in 2020 COVID-19 restrictions forced the club to offer the dinner as a drive-thru option.

“The last four years as a drive-thru option were so successful the event will be offered in this format long into the future,” said McMaken. “Without this important fundraiser, we would be limited in our ability to financially assist others. We thank everyone for supporting us in the past and hope you will join us for another great meal in support of the Piqua community.”
