Turning the Page on our Yearly Event

For nearly a decade, late spring has been synonymous with our annual Barn Street Barbecue. Each year, this event brought together customers, partners, and friends for good food, customer interaction, and good old fashion friendly grill competition! It’s a tradition we’ve been proud to host and grateful to share with our community.

As our company continues to grow and evolve, we’ve taken time to reflect on how we gather and how we can create experiences that best serve our customers and community moving forward.

Farewell to the Barn Street Barbecue

After thoughtful consideration, we’ve made the decision to retire the Barn Street Barbecue as our annual spring event. We are incredibly thankful to everyone who attended over the years and helped make this event such a memorable part of our company’s story. While this marks the end of a familiar tradition, it also opens the door for something new!

Looking Ahead to a New Fall Tradition

While the Barn Street Barbecue may be wrapping up, we’re excited to share that a new event is on the horizon — one that will take place this October!

This transition allows us to reimagine what our annual gathering can be, taking advantage of a new season and creating an experience that better reflects where we are today and where we’re headed. Though we’re not yet ready to release the full event name or details, planning is well underway. You can be assured this event will still feature propane products, community involvement, and, of course, delicious food.

Stay Connected

We’re looking forward to sharing more soon and welcoming you to this next chapter of our annual events. To be among the first to receive updates and announcements, be sure to keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram pages.

Thank you for being part of our journey…past, present, and future!
