Saturday, May 5: Barbecue on the Pedernales at the LBJ Ranch in StonewallIn keeping with the historic Head-of-State barbecues held on the LBJ Ranch during the Lyndon B. Johnson presidency of the 1960's; the National Park Service is hosting a Barbecue on the LBJ Ranch from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The 1960's barbecues always included good entertainment and tasty food. To ensure good times, the Friends of LBJ National Historical Park have arranged for The Salt Lick Barbeque to provide the food with all the trimmings. Pecan Street Brewing will supply cold refreshments. Following the "feast" America's favorite cowboys, the "comedy and western" group, Riders In The Sky will provide a 90-minute show of true Western music with their own brand of wacky humor and way-out Western wit. The classic cowboy quartet has chalked up over 6100 concert appearances in all 50 states and 10 countries. Their cowboy charisma and comedic flair have earned them two Grammy awards and a membership in the Grand Ol' Opry. Riders are happy to make a stop along the trail ride to pay a visit to the LBJ Ranch and the good folks of the Hill Country region.
