I recently became aware of a local charity that’s putting together a BBQ & music event. The folks organizing the event are neighbors of mine who have a foundation in the name of their son who they lost a short while ago.
I’ve volunteered to pitch in and help cook a whole hog & pork butts for the event. Luckily, we’ve got an experienced hog cooker signed up to help as I’ve never had a chance to cook a whole hog.
Here are the details:

WHAT: A Bar-B-Que Eat’n • Music List’ning • Game Play’n Charitable Fun Time
WHERE: Schranz Park (aka Swansea Kingdom), 360 Honeysuckle Lane, Swansea , IL , 62226
