The 12th Annual CarBQ is in the books!!! Another beautiful fall day filled with good friends, plenty of good food, and some cool cars!

During the CarBQ, we recognized 9 of our veterans. The Quilt of Valor Sewing Circle from Lake Villa presented and wrapped each of our 9 veterans (as a hug) with a one of a kind quilt and a certificate, as a thank you for their service and sacrifice!

Thank you to our veterans and “Welcome Home”

Thank you to all that came, helped out with set up, clean up and bringing all the yummy food!!

Well done North Shore Rods!!
