Hi Nina,
I'm not a big beer or bourbon fan, but I do love BBQ. I'd go to this event for the BBQ and to support the cause for children... VIP of course. 😊

Carol Williams hi Carol... when it comes to beer, bourbon, and BBQ, I can pass on all of them. But this is a big deal here in the Charlotte area.

Nina, I bet just the smell of the BBQ alone will bring the masses to this event.  YUMMY!

Joan Cox hi Joan... this event takes place just 3.5 miles from my house. I'm not a fan of BBQ personally so I hope any smells don't waft down North Community House Road towards my house! :)))

Hmm, this seems like an event that my drinking buddy, and your kitchen design buddy, Wayne Martin would really enjoy.  I know that I would enjoy it, haha.
