I would like to express my utmost appreciation to Cyndi McGuire of VA Barbeque in Carrollton. Wow! Cyndi McGuire stepped up and is donating meals to the Smithfield High School Varsity football team all season. This is a huge and gracious undertaking for a small business.

Not only does this business owner support our local community through charitable events but she also hires student workers from local high schools. Many times this is the students’ first job. She takes their employment seriously and endeavors to teach them valuable work and life skills. This is the kind of local business that I will continue to support and I hope you will too. Join the Football Team in November for our end of the season celebration at VA Barbeque. Call for details. VA BBQ is located at The Shoppes at Eagle Harbor.
