Elders catch a Flaming Pig
dinner during birthday outing

By Bobbie Bush

Chehalis Tribal elders celebrated birthdays
at 5 p.m. Feb. 22 at the Flaming Pig BBQ in
Tumwater.
There were thirty-nine elders who lined
up to place their orders for baby back ribs
(full rack, half rack or quarter rack), a BBQ
nachos plate or a sandwich called “The Pig,”
which is a hoagie roll piled with pulled pork,
topped with coleslaw and finished with mild
banana peppers. The excellent menu offers a
diverse selection to choose from for every BBQ
enthusiast.
The sun was out and it was a nice afternoon
to travel from surrounding communities or
Oakville. Even though a large amount of guests Chehalis
from the Chehalis Tribe attended, service was tribal elders
