🎉❤️ 100 YEARS IN BUSINESS. THAT DESERVES A STANDING OVATION. ❤️🎉

Some businesses open their doors in a community.

Others become part of the community.

For an incredible 100 YEARS, Melvin’s Repair Shop has been serving St. Augustine — building a reputation, serving generations of local families, and showing what it truly means to be a hometown business.

And through the years, they’ve also been there for Jimmy Jam Community Outreach, Inc.

Today, we simply want to say THANK YOU.

Thank you to the entire Melvin’s family for the support you have shown Jimmy Jam over the years. Thank you for believing in what we do. Thank you for supporting our events, our mission, and most importantly, the local families we are able to help because businesses like yours choose to give back.

Our mission has always been:

❤️ “A Hand Up. Not a Handout.”

And that mission is only possible because of people and businesses who believe that neighbors should take care of neighbors.

For a business to reach 100 YEARS is extraordinary. It represents generations of hard work, trust, relationships, great service and a commitment to the community that simply cannot be manufactured.

So today, we’re turning the spotlight around.

👏 CONGRATULATIONS TO MELVIN’S REPAIR SHOP ON 100 YEARS IN BUSINESS! 👏

From everyone at Jimmy Jam Community Outreach, Inc., thank you for standing beside us and supporting our mission all these years.

Here’s to 100 years of Melvin’s — and to the generations still to come. ❤️

St. Augustine is better because businesses like Melvin’s call it home.

🥃 We're asking you to come have dinner with us.

Have a bourbon.

Eat some ridiculously good BBQ.

Listen to some live music.

Laugh with your friends.

Maybe bid on a bottle of bourbon you absolutely do NOT need… but somehow convince yourself you do. 😂🥃

And then go home knowing something pretty damn cool happened because you bought that ticket.

Someone’s lights stay on.

Someone’s water gets turned back on.

A parent gets their car payment made so they can still get to work.

A neighbor who got knocked down gets a hand getting back up.

THAT is Jimmy Jam Community Outreach

And that is why we’re throwing the Annual Jimmy Jam Bourbon & BBQ benefitting title sponsored by The Shee Family 😎

🔥 Championship BBQ
🥃 Top-shelf bourbon
🎶 Live music by Brothers Futch
🐖 Whole Hog
🥩 Wagyu Gold Brisket
🥃 High-End Bourbon Auction
❤️ And one hell of a reason to spend a Saturday night with us.

📅 Saturday, October 17, 2026
📍 Tringali Barn — St. Augustine
🎟️ $100 per person — food & drinks included

Here’s the deal:

We can’t raise the money if the seats are empty.

So this is me personally asking you…

BUY THE TICKET. 😂

Not because Jimmy Jam needs another person at a party.

Buy it because somewhere in St. Johns County there is going to be somebody having one of the worst weeks of their life…

…and the money we raise that night may be exactly what helps them get through it.

That’s what we do.

No complicated mission statement.

No red tape speech.

Just neighbors helping neighbors.

A HAND UP. NOT A HANDOUT.

Come eat.

Come drink.

Come laugh.

Come help us do some good.

And when somebody asks what you did Saturday night?

Tell them:

“I drank bourbon and helped somebody keep their lights on.” 🥃❤️🔥

That’s a pretty darn good Saturday night.

🥤🎉 WHAT A DIFFERENCE ONE YEAR CAN MAKE!

Today we’re celebrating Shores Nutrition and an awesome milestone — their 1-YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

But what we really want to celebrate is the kind of business they’ve chosen to become.

From early on, Shores Nutrition has embraced this community and has continued to support Jimmy Jam Community Outreach, Inc. and the Jimmy Jam BBQ Slam & Car Show. ❤️🔥

That support matters.

Every sponsor, partner and local business that gets behind Jimmy Jam helps us continue doing what this organization was created to do — help our neighbors right here in St. Johns County when life throws them a curveball.

Shores Nutrition could have simply opened their doors and focused on building their own business.

Instead, they chose to build relationships, support local causes and give back.

THAT deserves recognition. 👏

So today, we’re asking our Jimmy Jam family to help us return some of that love.

🥤 Stop by Shores Nutrition.
❤️ Support them.
🎉 Congratulate them on ONE YEAR.
📣 And let them know Jimmy Jam sent you!

To everyone at Shores Nutrition — congratulations on an incredible first year, and THANK YOU for continuing to stand behind Jimmy Jam and our mission.

We’re looking forward to everything Year Two brings!

Happy 1st Anniversary, Shores Nutrition! 🎉🥤❤️

🔥 THE FIRES ARE LIT. THE FIELD IS SET. REGISTRATION IS CLOSED. 🔥

There comes a point when you look around and realize just how much something has grown.

We’ve reached that point.

BBQ TEAM REGISTRATION for the 11th Annual Jimmy Jam BBQ Slam & Car Show
is officially CLOSED. 🏆🐷

And what a field we have assembled.

🔥 30 PRO TEAMS
🔥 20 BACKYARD TEAMS
🔥 50 BBQ TEAMS TOTAL

To every Pitmaster and team who made the effort to get registered — THANK YOU. You are a huge part of what makes the Jimmy Jam what it is.

But we also know something else…

There are teams out there who are going to read this and think:

“Dang it. We still wanted in.”

DON’T GIVE UP JUST YET. 👀🔥

If you would still like an opportunity to compete, send an email to [email protected] and ask to be placed on the Jimmy Jam BBQ Slam & Car Show Team Wait List.

Here’s why that matters:

If we determine there is enough additional interest to warrant adding another table of judges, we will consider opening the field and allowing additional teams to compete.

No promises — but if you want in, GET YOUR NAME ON THAT LIST.

The Jimmy Jam BBQ Slam continues to grow every year, and with that growth comes one of our biggest challenges:

Our event keeps getting bigger while our available space keeps getting smaller.

We have cars to park.
Vendors to showcase.
Food trucks to feed thousands.
Entertainment to perform.
Kids to entertain.
Spectators to accommodate.

And through all of that, we are committed to protecting the heart and soul of this event…

🔥🔥 THE BBQ COMPETITION. 🔥🔥

We are constantly working to keep Jimmy Jam fresh, exciting and worth coming back to year after year — and that means making sure we continue to carve out the space necessary to host what we believe is THE BEST BBQ COMPETITION IN THE WORLD! 🌎🏆🐷

50 TEAMS ARE IN.

The field is closed.

But the wait list is OPEN. 👀
