Spring is one of my favorite times of the year.Spring means the start of BBQ season. This past weekend I got to see some old friends and make some new ones at "Downtown Pig Roast" held by my good friends Gabe and Katherine Holmstrom. Even though the weather didnt really cooperate we all had a great time. The Pit Crew conisisted of Gabe Holmstrom, Grant Tennille, Chad Causey, my new friend Mitch Berry, Bill Vickery and Ben Noble. These guys cooked a whole hog for over 24 hours and it was great. You can catch them throughout the summer at some of the "Summer Supper Events."
It was great catching up with some folks I hadnt seen in awhile and getting to visit with some folks I didnt really know to well.
As Tapp Allen has now learned to walk, he loves to go outside. Naturally we decided to expand our backyard in order to accomadate him. My ggod friend Ben Grafton of Grafton Home & Gardens provided the landscaping.
In just a couple of weeks Esperanza Bonanza will be here and its one of our biggest events of the year. Its a BBQ festival here in Crittenden County and our tent will feed close to 1,000 of our friends and customers by the the time its over. It starts on Wednesday night with a party for Chamber members hosted by Randy Sullivan and his folks from Budwieser and wraps up on Saturday afternnoon with the judging. I hope all is well and have a great week.
