Walmart Boston Butt sale aiding Shop With a Cop

</element><element id="paragraph-1" type="body"><![CDATA[Harrisburg Walmart will be celebrating its associates and helping raise money for Shop With a Cop with a Boston butt sale Tuesday.

While cleaning up after the Feb. 29 tornado, the organization BBQ Road Show cooked for the staff.

"We worked day and night for 13 days," Store Manager Rhonda Bottoms said.

BBQ Road Show and Quality Co. Kitchens will be arriving Monday night and smoking the 300 Boston butts for 10 to 12 hours. Selling for $32 each from a stand out front, Harrisburg FOP could make as much as $9,600 for this year's Shop With a Cop program.

The tornado significantly damaged the store by taking out a wall, pulling back the roof in the dairy department and sucking items from the garden department across the store.

"The pressure pulled all the glass out," Bottoms said.

"It actually lifted the dairy cooler. It took a freezer as big as people's homes and lifted it."

There were 600 holes in the roof from debris and signs inside Walmart were stuck in the ceiling. The tornado totaled 12 vehicles on the lot.

No employees were hurt, but Krispie Kreme driver Kevin James of Evansville, Ind., was in his vehicle when the wind lifted it and dropped it in a retention pond behind Walmart.

Only in the past two weeks was James released from the hospital where he was treated for a skull injury.

"He's out of the hospital finally, but he's got a long way to go," Bottoms said.
