The Shorewood BBQ and Brew fest originally scheduled for tomorrow has been cancelled due to weather. Look for a rescheduled date in the near future!

Staff has been keeping a close eye on the weather over the course of the week and unfortunately, the forecast for rain keeps increasing.

With an 80% chance of rain throughout the scheduled duration of the event and 3/4 in – 1 in of rain accumulation forecasted, we have decided to cancel tomorrow’s BBQ & Brews.

Staff is working to coordinate with vendors to schedule a make-up date. Details to follow.
