Sweet and Savory Weekend Ahead: Hello Summer!


There are some great events going on in Winston-Salem this weekend. Partly cloudy days and cool evenings make this the perfect weekend to get the most out of what is going on in town.  Get out there and have fun!
 
If one of these events is your favorite, make sure you vote for it in Smitty's Notes "Best of Winston-Salem" contest.
 

My Runaround: 

All Weekend:

During lunchtime today, admission is only $1. Great weather and amazing food. I went yesterday and can attest that the food is amazing. Choose from Ribs, Brisket, Pulled Pork, and more and wash it down with a giant iced tea.
The event goes on all weekend so there are plenty of opportunities to get your fill. #TwinCityRibFest
 Winston-Salem Dash Baseball
The Winston-Salem Dash host the Carolina Mudcats (High-A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians) on Friday, June 6 at 7:00 p.m. at BB&T Ballpark. A postgame fireworks show will follow!

Saturday Night

I hate to admit it, but I have never been to a race at Bowman Gray Stadium. I can hear the races from my house, have often talked about going, but this Saturday night I will experience it for the very first time. It's a W-S institution and I am marking it off my list of "must-dos" if you want to call yourself a W-S Native.
Gates open at 6pm and the racing starts at 8pm
