🔥🍔 OTERO 1st RESPONDERS SUMMER BBQ! 🌭🔥
🇺🇸Hey peeps! Time for Otero County to show up again! 🇺🇸
Our local 1st Responders are doing a Critical Incident / Active Shooter training on June 13-14. We all hope that type of incident never comes to Otero, but our heroes are going to be ready if it does.
These folks are spending their weekend training so they’re ready to protect Otero County if the unthinkable ever happens.
So… we’re gonna feed ‘em. 😎🔥
We’re putting together breakfast and lunch for about 70 hungry 1st Responders BOTH days, and trust me… after running drills all day, these folks are gonna absolutely DESTROY some barbecue. 🤣
🌭🍔 WHAT WE NEED 🍔🌭
Basically, if it belongs at a summer barbecue, we can probably use it!
• Hamburgers

🔥 BACKYARD GRILL MASTERS — THIS IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE! 🔥
