The PVFA Annual BBQ is one of the largest and oldest City-wide traditions. The half-century old event will be held at Pine Island Park, 300 S. The program offers live music, kids’ games, bounce houses, raffle prizes, live demonstrations and much more. As part of the program, Head Chef Barry Stearns has maintained the urban legend surrounding Former Mayor Frank Veltri’s “Secret Sauce.” The firefigh

ters begin cooking at 4AM in the morning and continue throughout the day. The PVFA Care-A-Little program was developed was originally developed as a way to assist school-aged children in the City of Plantation who need help with self-esteem and personal issues or are “at risk” for trouble. The program raises money to provide these kids, as identified by the school system, with clothing, medical, dental or eye care, gifts at holiday time and, if necessary, food or furniture. The goal of Care-A-Little is to help these children feel better about themselves so they can remain in school and help improve themselves and their family or personal situation.
