The Beachville District Historical Society hosted its much-anticipated Annual Summer Beef BBQ Fundraiser on Friday evening Aug. 15, welcoming guests from across Oxford County for an evening of food, fellowship, and fun in support of the Beachville District Museum. Attendees gathered on the museum grounds to enjoy a locally sourced feast that featured tender roast beef, baked potatoes, creamy coleslaw, hearty baked beans, fresh-picked corn, and a selection of homemade pies, complemented by hot and cold beverages. The aroma of the meal filled the air as guests settled at picnic tables or took advantage of the sheltered dining area. In addition to the meal, visitors were invited to tour the museum’s exhibits, meet with fellow community members, and take part in lawn games. Live entertainment added to the festive atmosphere, making the evening as much a social gathering as a fundraiser. Proceeds from the event went directly toward supporting the museum’s operations and programming, helping preserve Beachville’s rich history for future generations. The fundraiser was sold out, with many guests also choosing the take-out option, bringing their own containers to help reduce waste. The Beachville District Historical Society expressed its gratitude to all attendees, volunteers, and sponsors who contributed to making the Summer Beef BBQ a memorable and meaningful community tradition.
