Saturday night at the HI-LO SUPPER CLUB appreciation dinner for the ladies. We arrived in the HI-LO Limousine and started the evening in the Speakeasy, very cool space and music. Thanks ladies for an amazing season of catering. Without all your hard work there would be no Back Alley BBQ.

Last night we catered a small event (50) at Pick's Resort on Pillsbury Point West Lake Okoboji. I'm guessing the last small cottage resort on the lake. Diane Hanigan 3rd generation caretaker and myself at Pick's! Wonderful group for their Family Reunion with a little rain sprinkled in.
