...Virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone that renders us invincible. These are the tactics we should study. If we lose these, we are conquered, fallen indeed...
Patrick Henry (1736-1799) US Founding Father
Alexandria residents can enjoy a variety of music while eating high on the hog during the first-ever "ParkaPalooza," a benefit to raise money for permanent bathroom facilities at Parker's Park.
Mickie Kreidler, who chairs the park's board of trustees, said the fund-raiser will include a hog roast and concert by local musicians who are donating their time and talents in support of the park.
The event will be held from 1 to 9 p.m. Saturday, June 30, at Parker Community Park. The menu is barbecue pork with all the fixin's -- slaw, baked beans and potato salad, ice tea and lemonade. Cold draughts will also be available from the beer wagon.
Local bands and musicians will provide a continuous flow of music.
