The dry goods vendor for our event will once again be Dirk. Our food vendor is Benny’s BBQ. They will be serving hardwood-smoked pulled pork sandwiches with their homemade sauce. The opportunity to browse the hundreds of items in “Dirk’s The Real Reefer’s Store” and enjoy a sandwich from Benny’s BBQ is well worth the price of admission.
