Don't forget to stop by downtown Wood River tomorrow afternoon for some BBQ and to check out some cars!

We are putting the pressure on the Mayor!
Not only does the Mayor have to taste his way through the BBQ lineup and crown his Mayor’s Choice for BBQ, he also has to pick his favorite ride at the Cruise & Que!
Will he go for a nostalgic classic that takes him back a few years? A muscle car? A hot rod? Or will a newer model catch his eye?
That’s a lot of pressure, Mayor Tom! 😂
Think your car has what it takes to be the Mayor’s favorite? Bring it downtown Sunday!
Cruise & Que
THIS SUNDAY - 1-5PM
Ferguson Avenue in Downtown Wood River

Cool cars, killer BBQ, live music and some serious bragging rights!
