Fire Up Hope BBQ Fest!
As you many know Morgan and I LOVE everything that is BBQ; the sauce, the mess, but most of all the meat! From pulled pork to brisket, from ribs to wings, we can't keep our hands off of anything BBQ!
With that being said, for all you BBQ lovers,
we have the perfect event for you!
Presented by local non-profit, Help Hope Live and 92.5 XTU Philadelphia's Country Station, Fire Up Hope is sure to be two days of sun, fun, and BBQ!
