Just For Fun: Mainstreet BBQ & Bluesfest in Historic Downtown Washington, MO

 

Yesterday, Mother Nature blessed St. Louis with sunny blue skies and lovely 70 degree temperatures!   It was the perfect day to journey scenic Highway 94 in our convertible to enjoy "Blues and BBQ" overlooking the banks of the Missouri River in Historic Downtown Washington, Missouri.

 

A teeny peek at our family fun...

 

Pop this event on your calendar for next year!  Great music and a fun and tasty BBQ competition, only an hour from St. Louis.  Connect with Washington, MO on Facebook HERE.  See more of my local Hidden Gems HERE.

Hidden Gem Alert:Cowan's

If you find yourself in Washington, Missouri for the day (like I did when showing properties on the "wine road" the other day)... ...make sure you visit Cowan's Restaurant for some small town goodness and a piece of their notorious pie! If you don't have time to dine, pick up a pie to go. The board changes numerous times as you dine, as pies sell out and are pulled out of the oven...



Cowan's will also bake you a special order pie for the road, either while you dine or via the phone. NOTE: You can also make special requests, like your pie be made with Splenda.
