GOOD TIMES AT SAINT EX FOR ROSS ELEMENTARY FUNDRAISER

We went to the Ross elementary school pig roast fundraiser on Labor Day at Saint Ex. It was fun for the whole family, and community. Tons of people turned out to support this local school.
Here are the details you should know:
1. The pig was 320 lbs (wow!) and roasted in front (see photo below) of Saint Ex over a 24 hour period.
2. The pig came from Eco-Friendly Foods LLC, a local farmer (we love that) from Moneta, VA.
3. A big shout out to Lyon Bakery (SW DC) who donated all of the buns.
4. Close to $3,000 was raised for Ross elementary school through raffle tickets, lemonade, bbq, and face painting!
5. St. Ex continues to raise money for local schools. Their next fundraiser will be on Columbus Day weekend.. stay tuned for details.

A big thanks to St. Ex, Bar Pilar, and Local 16 for these fantastic fundraising efforts. This couldn't have been done without the volunteers! Chefs, bar staff, (loved my pear cider) friends and family of St. Ex, and Bar Pilar--you rock!
