WAVERLY, Ohio — Pebble Township Fire Department will hold its annual fall open house Saturday, Oct. 3, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the station, 330 Carl Penn Road, offering a meal, auctions and a hog raffle to support the all-volunteer department.

The department will serve soup beans and cornbread on a donation-only basis, along with a silent auction, a Chinese auction and a raffle drawing for a hog, the department said in a Facebook post announcing the event. A flyer promoting the open house bills it as a day of “food, fun, family and community.”
