Buckin’ BBQ – 12 June – Fun!

Come on over to the Buckin BBQ on June 12 in Arroyo Hondo just outside Santa Fe! It’ll be a ton of fun, and it’s supporting the Espanola Animal Shelter. There’s going to be a silent auction, a noisy mechanical bull, a sublime tequila tasting and it’s all washed down with the real genuine sounds of the Buckarettes! Tickets are from just $50, at espanolaevents.com
