Anything that’s billed as a “Big ‘Ol Backyard Barbecue” is sure to get my attention. You know what really got my attention? The lovely lady from Home of the Innocents who wrote to tell me about the event assured me that there will be vegetarian options and the Proof gelato cart there. Good summertime vegetarian food and the Proof gelato cart? I’m so there. Seriously, B and I are going, you should come too.
