The Bryson Lions Hall and grounds were packed with people on Sunday afternoon for the annual sea-pie dinner. Dozens of people flocked to the Lions hall to . . .
scarf down the delicious meal, which is made up of beef and pork cooked into multiple layers of pastry.
Lions President Paul Lacroix explained that the dish “comes from the old country’ and is cooked in large pots that they load into the hall’s enormous wood-fired oven.
“There’s no fish to it at all, it’s all meat,” he explained with a laugh.
He added that during the Lions’ annual wildlife dinner, they swap out the beef and pork for game like deer and moose.
The hall had a steady stream of customers dining in, but there were plenty of takeout containers loaded to the brim that were available for people on the go.
Outside, the Bryson RA had plenty of activities for those that weren’t yet loaded down with a belly full of sea-pie.
The new rink was open for basketball, there was a bouncy castle and even a few pick-up ball games.
RA President Julie Ryan said that the funds they raised from the bar and canteen would go towards paying off the boards for their rink.
“At the moment, our rink is done but we’re still paying it off,” she said. “Funds will go to paying that off, but [also] little renovations to the ball field because we like to keep our ball field up.”
She added that with the new boards, the RA would be looking at hosting an event during the winter, and even mused about hosting some broomball games.
