Not all labels mean what you think. Here's the truth

UPDATE:

ALTHOUGH WE MAY HAVE TO CANCEL DUE TO WEATHER, AS OF TODAY, WE HAVE ZERO ENTRIES TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR BARBECUE COMPETITION. Some of you may have seen our screen from Hwy 64 the last few weekends (testing sounds, setup / breakdown times and FM transmission). “Lounging on the Field” will be AMAZING!!!! Whether you prefer to bring your own lawn chairs or relax in the comfort of your own vehicle and tune into the radio, we will accommodate. When the weather breaks, prepare to be amazed!!!!

Due to expected inclement weather conditions, we will postpone our Mother’s Day Appreciation event originally scheduled for May 10th. Everyday is Mother’s Day so in order to bring the ultimate experience we’ll combine Mother’s Day Appreciation and our Father’s Day Block Party.

Our Father’s Day Block Party success depends on the number of Dads willing to sign up. With that said…. Daddies, Granddaddies, Uncles, etc. please contact us via messenger with your name and category (brisket 🥩, chicken legs 🍗 or ribs) by June 7th.

Mothers, Grandmothers, Aunties, etc. anything you feel is necessary to support would be welcomed (paper towels, condiments, paper plates, wet wipes, specialty side dishes, desserts, etc.). We know Mothers will always remember what Dads forget. 😂

It will be a full day of fun because at sunset we’ll end the day lounging on the field. Keep in mind this is a community event and just a venue to support family fun. The “Community’s Creativity” is our only limit. I hope to see all Oakland Neighbors on June 14th!!!

Thank you in advance for your participation.
