‘Fringe Festival’ barbecue next weekend
In conjunction with Wickenburg’s first Fringe Festival, the Desert Caballeros Western Museum will be hosting Chuck Wagon barbecue dinners prior to evening performances scheduled at the Del Webb Performing Arts Center.
The exciting lineup of Webb Center performances includes Rex Allen Jr. and the Third Generation on March 6, Baxter Black on March 7, and Daryle Singletary on March 8.
Catered by Valley-famous Whiskey Ranch BBQ in the Museum’s new Charles T. Klein Pavilion, dinners will be served between 5 and 7 p.m. on those three days; and all are invited whether attending a Webb Center performance or not. Diners will have a choice of pulled pork, chicken, hamburgers, barbecue baked beans, potato salad and macaroni salad. Tickets are $20 per person, and include free admission to the Museum.
Reservations for the dinners can be made by calling the Museum at 684-2272,
Ext. 100.
“Don’t feel like you have to restrict yourself to just one dinner, either,” said Museum Executive Director Royce Kardinal. “This could be a great way to get out of cooking for three whole nights!”
