BBQ update!

🌱I'm crazy about plants…. What's the connection to Peru Old Man River Days 2nd annual BBQ showdown? …. Plants flex in the breeze…. and so do we!

💨Unexpected twists have forced us to pivot and specifically…. change venues!

👩‍🍳Pitmasters will STILL be firing up the grill!

🎶 There will STILL be live music!

🍺There will STILL be a beer garden!!!

🧭 We're just setting up shop in front of KJ Whitehorse Bar & Grill instead of 5th and Olive!

‼️Can't wait to see you at 605 5th St Saturday! Beer garden kicks off at 10, tasting and voting starts at 3:30!

If you’ve been following the fuchsia feathered flock…. You’ll find them frolicking in the same spot as yesterday. I’ve been told the lead flamingo felt fatigued and fell fast asleep before flying to fresh ground!
Rest well my fellow flamingo finders… tomorrow is a new day!
