SIDNEY — The Kiwanis Club of Sidney Ohio is holding its 70th annual Labor Day Chicken Bar-B-Que on Monday Sept. 4, 2023. Serving time has changed from previous years. This year we will serve from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. or until sold out and will be held at the Shelby County Fairgrounds.
Ticket prices are the same as last year at $10. Included in the purchase price is a half chicken, potato chips, applesauce and a roll & butter.
Tickets can be purchased from any club member or can be purchased at the door the day of the event. Tickets can also be purchased at Bunny’s Pharmacy, Ron & Nita’s, Best One Tire, Sidney Tire, the Sidney Daily News and Mutual Federal.
The Kiwanis Club of Sidney would also like to thank our many sponsors, all of which are listed on the barbecue tickets.
