The annual fall Corn Roast is the finale of RAA-TR's summer social calendar. Originally founded as EAA Chapter 41 on BFC's original field at Queen and McLaughlin in 1956, this year's event is coinciding with RAA-TR's 70th (seventieth) anniversary. In addition to the beef burgers, sausages, veggie burgers, and chicken, there will be fresh, locally-grown…
