WEEKEND: Oxford House to host Clean and Sober barbecue contest this Sunday on Highway 112

OXFORD HOUSE, A network of group houses for recovering addicts, invites the public to its inaugural Clean and Sober barbecue contest at the Salt Creek Golf Course, 53802 state Highway 112, this Sunday.

A barbecued lunch, drawings for prizes, a bounce house and a closest-to-the-pin golf contest are part of the event from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.

“The barbecue is on the house,” said Brian Soiseth, activities director for Oxford House in Port Angeles.

“We will be serving up five different barbecue recipes from five different competitors” while accepting donations of any size.

Tickets for the prize drawings will sell for $1 each or three for $5.

Proceeds from those and from donations will support Oxford’s mission of providing housing for men and women who are starting over after a struggle with alcohol or other drug abuse.

The North Olympic Peninsula has seven Oxford Houses, Soiseth said: five in Port Angeles and one in Port Townsend. A Sequim house is needed, he added.

For information, phone Soiseth at 360-912-1944 or visit www.oxfordhouse.org.
