It’s a red Volkswagen. No, it’s one of five smokers used Saturday during the Hennessey Reserve Police Angels’ annual pork butt fundraiser, and made of Volkswagen parts. It’s owned by HPD Officer Bryan Taylor (pictured) who stepped up Saturday to help the reserves raise money for their Reserve Angels’ Christmas project. Reserve Capt. Bryan Burch said the funny thing about Taylor’s VW smoker is that his wife, Shelley, said her uncle, Randy Lee of Chandler, made one just like it. Then it turned out that Taylor’s smoker is the one her uncle built, but sold it to someone in Texas. That someone turned out to be Taylor, said Shelley Burch. Taylor, who has been on the Hennessey force for two years, has brought his smoker down for the past few years to help with the Angel project, she said. The other four smokers at the fire station belonged to Danny Bossa, Troy Watkins and James Macy. “This year we cooked 200 butts that were donated by Seaboard Farms and the Oklahoma Pork Council and had about 15 helpers,” said Burch. “They started cooking at 5:30 a.m. Saturday and finished up at 1 a.m. Sunday.” Now all the Angels have to do is find some local children who need their help this Christmas, and match them up with some Angel donors. Call Shelley Burch at Hennessey Town Hall if interested in helping with the project: 405-853-2416. [KT&FP Staff Photo]
