COUNTRY WESTERN BBQ Success :)
For the first time our annual Country Western BBQ and line dancing party was held at the Ranch. Dressed in their red, white, and blue dancing boots and cowboy hats, guests feasted on delicious BBQ food from New Moon Cafe and sipped cool beverages from Eastern Front Brewing, in the 90 degree sun. It was a festive and patriotic afternoon with line dancing led by DJ Lady T and country rock music by Forge River Band.
A shout out to our sponsors: PSEG, Alexander Rothwell Funeral Home, Delea Sod Farms, Baiting Hollow Club, Peconic Bay Medical Center, A.S. Engineering Services, and Wendy's Sound Avenue Deli. Thank you all for a successful event!
