Calvary Baptist Church, the East Hampton Town Anti-Bias Task Force, and the East Hampton Historical Farm Museum will co-host a barbecue at the museum, which is on the corner of Cedar and North Main Streets, on Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. The $20 entry fee gets attendees hot dogs, hamburgers, corn on the cob, and pie, or you can take a pie and get in for free.
First responders will also be admitted for free, with or without pie. The barbecue will be held rain or shine.
