MIDDLEBURG – Gary Park was back where he belonged last weekend – in front of a smoking barbecue pit.

The owner of G’s Slow Smoked BBQ was cooking ribs, pork, brisket, turkey and sausage at VFW Post 8255 to raise money for employees who were immediately displaced by a fire on Jan. 19. Hundreds attended three days of festivities that included vendors, live music and food to bring attention and financial help to the cooks, cashiers and servers at the Orange Park restaurant. Park said he plans to open a new store in Starke “just to get my employees back to work as soon as possible” before he turns his attention to finding a location for a restaurant in Clay County. Park was happy to serve barbecue to first responders from Clay County Fire Rescue Station 15 because that station was one of many who battled the blaze in the middle of the night.
