Anthony Newton, Corporate General Manager for the Sand Bar and the recently opened 844 Gulf and Prime Restaurant kept looking skyward on Thursday afternoon as storms were rolling in, but a little rain wasn’t going to deter them from moving forward with their first Mechanical Bull Riding Pig Roast, Alligator and BBQ weekend event. Three fun afternoons were planned where their culinary staff was cooking up a storm (no pun intended) that included barbecue chicken, pork, and, yes, even a Florida Alligator.
The main event was a mechanical bull for those with the courage to try out their rodeo skills. Young and old alike took turns trying to tame the beast.
Although the storms blew down the tents originally meant to provide a little cover from the expected hot sun, they ended up providing more protection from the rain. Staff kept a watchful eye on the Cheney Brothers’ monster grill, which was pumping out the delectable aromas of the barbecue being slowly cooked under the huge steel hoods.
Throughout the weekend, the Sand Bar stayed packed inside. A buffet table featured the cooked gator at the end of the line. Some had never seen or tasted this Florida delicacy before this weekend, and most who did found it surprisingly good, coming back for seconds.
The Sand Bar has lots of fun events for the rest of July. “Mug and Poker Nite” is Monday. “Come out and try your hand and have a little fun and enjoy some great food,” said Newton. There’s Karaoke on Wednesdays and live entertainment Thursday through Saturday. So get your fun on this summer at the Sand Bar, 826 E. Elkcam Circle.
