Congressman Cleaver’s BBQ

Congressman Cleaver held his annual BBQ picnic and fundraiser Saturday afternoon at his home  just two blocks West of Raytown. The crowd was large, but almost a perfect fit for the space and seating. The music was very good, but a bit loud, which distracted from conversation and networking. There was plenty of great BBQ, so no one left hungry. 

Congressman Cleaver delegated the cooking to Gates BBQ, but rumor has it that the backyard preparation and cleanup was his personal contribution to the event preparation.  The yard looked so perfect that Raytown Online inquired about his availability for yard work, but decided to not pursue it after a rate was quoted.
