BEEFFEST
The Deep Creek Ruritan Club recently held their annual BeefFest at Izaak Walton Park in Chesapeake. Ruritans, family, and friends enjoyed a great afternoon of fun, fellowship and lots and lots of beef. The band Southern Blend entertained the crowd. Funds raised from the event will support the community service objectives of the Deep Creek Ruritan Club.
