Good afternoon, everyone! Our fundraiser for the Basauri family will be from 5PM-7PM tonight! It is amazing what area businesses and community members can do when we all come together. Later this evening we have a HUGE thank you post to make.

Carry out only!

We will be accepting cash, credit card or check.

To make it easy we will have the pulled pork sandwich, bbq sauce and chips in a brown paper bag all for $10.00 tax included!

Thank you all for your continued support!
