LAKEPORT, Calif. – People Services Inc. is gearing up for its 43rd annual Chicken-Que, scheduled for Saturday, June 3, at the Lake County Fairgrounds, 401 Martin St. in Lakeport.

The event, which takes place from 2 to 6 p.m., will feature food, music, children’s activities, a raffle, auction and door prizes.

Tickets are $10 each or four for $30. For ticket and event information, call 707-263-3810 or visit www.peopleservices.org .

“Come join us for fun, delicious food, and top-notch entertainment,” said People Services Executive Director Ilene Dumont. “The Chicken-Que is not just about chicken – the chicken is delicious, by the way. We’ll have meal alternatives, however, and we are planning a 50-50 raffle, a silent auction, and a door prize. There will also be a children’s activities area.”

Music will be provided by the LC Diamonds, known for its upbeat vintage tunes. “The Diamonds play a variety of dance songs – from rock and blues to rockabilly and surf – always entertaining!” said Dumont.

Chicken meals will include “tasty barbecued chicken, the best baked beans ever, salad and a roll,” said Dumont.

For those who prefer hamburgers or hot dogs, meals featuring those entrées will be available. “We also will have a special plate for our vegetarian friends,” Dumont said.

The annual event is a fundraiser for the nonprofit People Services, which for more than 40 years has served as the local community agency, providing the delivery of quality services for people with disabilities.

Sponsors for this year’s event include WestAmerica Bank, Sutter Lakeside Hospital, Umpqua Bank, North Lake Medical Pharmacy, Mendocino Redwood Co. LLC, Savings Bank of Mendocino County, Middletown Luncheon Club, Lakeport Kiwanis and the Lakeport Rotary.
