If you know what this is, there’s a good chance you drank straight from it on a HOT summer day. 😂

No bottled water. No fancy filters. And nobody was checking the pH.

You just pumped until that ice-cold water came pouring out and somehow it tasted better than anything you can buy today.

Who remembers these?

And more importantly… who would still drink from one today?

This hangs in the lobby of a local business and we bet you know which one. This shirt is from 2006 but the cook off goes back way further than that.

Who has memories from the beginning of the Wil King Hog Happenin'?

Were you there way back when? Do you know where the first one ever was held?

A tub a day might not keep the doctor away but it can keep the Monday, rainy day blues away! No matter the problem - BBQ is probably then answer. 😎
