How do grilled BBQ Ribs, a Cauldron of Brunswick stew, chicken, hotdogs & hamburgers sound for a Saturday in Spring? I thought it sounded great, so I'd like you to join me this Saturday for the festivities. Slated to be an extravaganza of southern food, your tastebuds will not soon forgive you for missing out.

Saturday, May 9th at 7pm


Please RSVP if you have not already



Some suggestions for items you might want to bring:

  • Chips / Dip
  • Sodas
  • Beer
  • Any Adult Beverages you might like (some will be provided)
  • Smores ingredients: Marshmallows, Chocolate Bars, Graham Crackers
  • A Blender (i have the stuff to make Margaritas, but a broken blender)
  • Anything else you might feel inclined to bring and share
  • Or, just bring yourself and a guest if you like

Looking forward to seeing you!
