The VNC 9th annual BBQ will be noon to four at the Oakwood Recreation Center park, 767 California Ave. The sign says it all but it doesn’t mention all the games for the children and the fun all have that Saturday for four hours.

Chicken, hot dogs, burgers and pulled pork will be grilled and served up by Venice’s LAFD Station #63, led by Chief Jeremiah Johnson (retired) and master grillers Todd von Hoffmann and Michael Watkins.

City, state and federal elected officials will be on hand throughout the day while you’ll be entertained by an array of musical talent including The Potential Suitors and Ocean Front Walk!

Last, but definitely not least will be the headliner, The Gumbo Brothers.

The styling of DJ Lobo Man will also be itching and scratching the day away!

Carolyn Rios says don’t forget the side dishes, otherwise people would just be eating meat.
