“There are a lot of details andmoving parts to
organizing the barbeque and it takes a lot of com-
munication, but as long as we don't try to rein-
vent the wheel each year, it works well,” he
added.
Opdyke's business, Serene Surroundings, has
been located inPlymouth for about 10 years. The
company specializes in landscape design, build-
ing andmaintenance alongwith snowremoval.
“This event comes at a good time of the year
for me,” he said. Opdyke and his wife, Laura,
who works at the barbeque as a volunteer each
year, are the parents of a 3-year-olddaughter.
“She hasn't worked the barbeque yet,”
Opdyke saidwith a smile, “but maybewe can put
her onbeverages this year.”
