🎉 A huge thank you to the Lake Geneva Jaycees for hosting the 64th Annual Lake Geneva Venetian Festival! This year’s event was nothing short of spectacular, offering a vibrant celebration filled with activities that brought our community together. From the delightful craft and food vendors to the exhilarating live bands that kept our spirits high, every moment was a testament to the hard work and dedication of the Jaycees. Whether you were dancing to the sounds of local talent or enjoying the beautiful fireworks display over the lake, it was a weekend full of joy and community spirit. Your efforts in making this festival a success truly reflect the heart of Lake Geneva! ❤️
🪖 In the spirit of giving back, we also want to highlight Barracks BBQ LLC, a veteran-owned gem founded in 2025 by disabled U.S. Army veterans Antony Kamps and Chase Baker. They’ve brought some serious flavor to Wisconsin with their incredible lineup of premium BBQ sauces!
🍖 This year, Barracks BBQ generously donated their Smokin’ Soldier and Blazin’ Battle BBQ sauces to the Venetian Festival. If you had the pleasure of tasting a sweet Hawaiian roll chicken slider, we’d love to hear which sauce was your favorite!
🔥 Smokin’ Soldier — A smoky-sweet crowd pleaser that’s perfect for just about anything off the grill!
🌶️ Blazin’ Battle — Bold heat and BIG flavor for those who like their BBQ with a kick!
🙌🏻 Whether you’re smoking ribs, grilling chicken, or firing up some burgers, consider supporting local, veteran-owned businesses like Barracks BBQ at your next BBQ! 🇺🇸
