We are super excited welcome back Bad Tractor to Meyers Creek Brewing for the Victoria Day long weekend and the official start of patio season! This awesome local group from Corbyville describes themselves as “Championing artistic purity over commercial ambition. Playing and recording real country freak out space rock with vintage gear.”
The Smokin' 116 Bistro was filmed for the show Drag Brunch Saved My Life and we are hosting a watch party!
On Saturday, May 17th at 8 pm, we’re hosting an exclusive viewing party for the episode that showcases our very own Smokin' 116 in all its glory! If you missed the action during filming, this is your chance to be part of the excitement.
This was such an amazing opportunity, and we can’t wait to share what all of our hard work, heart, and hustle brought to life!
But that’s not all… the night is getting even more fabulous with a DRAG SHOW featuring special guest performers ready to light up the stage and keep the party going!
Mark your calendars.
Bring your friends.
Get ready to celebrate BIG.
