The "ox" was placed in the pit for the 43rd year at the Mount Zion Community Park this weekend, for the mouth-watering enjoyment of those who stopped by.

Ox Master David Weaver has been there for all of them, in the early years as a child at the hand of his family. Weaver has graduated to being in charge of the preparation, and in recent years he has had some help.

Vonda Gunn said the visitors had been steady most of Saturday, and she was grateful to those who helped support the community park.
