FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
- I RSVP'd. I got a donation receipt email, and an RSVP confirmation email. Was I supposed to get tickets? Do I need anything else? If you have your donation email and your RSVP confirmation, and they match what you signed up for, you are all set. We will have your name on the list at the door and the number of your guests. You will receive wristbands and meal and drink tokens to redeem for BBQ and free drink for each of your party.
- Is this event open to the public? YES! This event is not only for our members, it is also open to the public. So if you are not able to RSVP, you can still come to the event and just buy your food and beverages at the venue (you will not get a free drink with your meal, which is a perk only for those who RSVP with us.)
- Do I have to be a US citizen to join in the fun? NO! All are welcome. If you are not a US citizen no need to RSVP, just show up.
- Can I bring the kids? YES! This is a family friendly event. Live music begins at 6PM so you may wish to plan accordingly.
- Is that the same Randy Garrett who used to run The Rib Joint? YES, the one and only!
- I want to show up at 11PM and eat BBQ. Can I do that? Event organizers will be dishing up good stuff from doors open at 2PM, and will serve continuously on a rolling, first-come, first-served basis throughout the day. We are told the kitchen will keep going until 10PM, with last mains going on the grill around 8:30 or 9P... so, maybe? (Safer bet to come earlier.)
