It's a big deal: the 74th Annual Laveen BBQ Festival - a couple dozen food vendors and at least 50 other booths, from banks to political candidates to other businesses (our vet was there - more on that in a bit) to a bunch of kid attractions (bounce house, giant slide, bungee jump swings, face painting, and others).
We rode our bikes to Caesar Chavez Park, where the festival is being held...
We locked the bikes up and wandered around...
Shade shelters set up for eating the BBQ...
Entertainment on the stage...
We stopped by the booth our vet (well, Murphy's vet) had set up - they had a "spin the wheel" set up for various prizes. Joan won a cooling towel and I won a large Yeti dog bowl (worth over $50). We gave the bowl to Steph and Dan as a prize for the Guide Dog group.
And, yes, we had some BBQ - a good deal: a large pulled pork sandwich, a bag of chips, a chocolate chip cookie (from Chick-fil-A) and a soda... all for $10.
It was a good outing on the bikes and fun to see all the vendors and people at the park. Oh, and we met the owner of the Chick-fil-A that we go to - he thanked us for our business and gave us each a card for a free breakfast. I complimented him on the training they give their staff - always friendly and efficient. He said, "If you know of any great kids that are looking for their first job, we can give them training that will give them an advantage as they move on in life." No doubt about that.
