Killingly, Connecticut: Syracuse, NY Dinosaur Bar-B-Que!

 My first visit this past Sunday will certainly not be my last to The Dionosaur Bar-B-Que!

For the past year I have heard how awesome the bar-b-que was and how it had won awards and was told I have to try it. I wasn't disappointed! Having lived in North Carolina and taste tested many Bar-B-Que's I didn't think it would stand out to my pallet. How wrong I was! I would recommend to anyone visitingthe Syracuse area to stop in for a bite to eat; it's fabulous and the portions will fill you up and give you a doggy bag to take home! The service we recieved from Amily was the best; she made us feel right at home!

My favorite part was the Dinosaur Beer & Bone Yard!

I was privileged to be there for the outdoor live concert featuring DOVETAIL JOINT!

I met Marge from Queens who moved to the area 3 years ago and visits the Bone Yard often to get down to all the great bands that come out to entertain the patrons and the passerby's! Let me tell you this woman can dance! She was awesome and the patrons were some of the friendliest I have encountered! I have a great video of Marge dancing but can't figure out how to load it (I'll keep trying to figure it out and add it asap)

MISS E. (Melissa Ragonese) Rocked the house with her new song "Just One Kiss"! myspace.com/dovetailjointjams

Marge said "When she hears music she can't keep her fanny still"!

Hopefully I can get the video uploaded soon!

Thank you to all that made my experience at the DINOSAUR BAR-B-QUE a memorable one!

Killingly, Connecticut: Syracuse, NY State Fair Trip!

Jeff and I were two of 107,213 people that ventured into the NY State Fair on Saturday! It was amazing to see so many families enjoy what turned out to be a gorgeous day! Attendance was up 21,355 over the same day last year and up 43,402 for the year! There were times it felt crowded and yet the fair is so vast you could move around freely for the most part and see everything (provided you could figure out where you had been and what you hadn't seen yet)

The food was great and the horse show was my favorite! We hope to make it a tradition for years to come. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera in the car and had to rely on my phone so the following is the best I could do! I will do better next year! I won't forget my camera!

Uncle Kracker & Kid Rock Rocked the Mohegan Sun Grandstand!

Killingly, Connecticut: Syracuse, NY State Fair Trip!

Hello!

I thought I would share my Holiday Weekend Plans!

We are driving up to Syracuse, New York to take in the State Fair! It will be a first for me so I'm pretty excited! We bought tickets to see Kid Rock & Uncle Cracker perform at the Mohegan Sun Grandstand! We are staying overnight so we won't have to fight the traffic driving back after what I hope turns out to be an awesome day. I'll post my pictures of the fair on Monday for all to see and give you my take on the experiance! In the mean time if anyone is interested I have included The Quick 2009 State Fair Info and links to the site so you can check it out for your self!

I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday weekend!
