Did you get enough to eat????

We proudly served over 2,800 of our friends, families, neighbors, and overall great supporters this past 4th of July. We served over 1,000 pounds of bacon and hundreds of pounds of sausage, untold dozens of eggs and pancakes. We want to say THANK YOU to all those that came, endured the rain, ate with us, and participated in the raffle (congratulations to all the winners). Special thanks to those that stuck around to help us clean up – after a long morning on the grills cooking, that was greatly appreciated!!
