7th Annual Hog Roast (2022)

We are honored to provide live entertainment, car show, and hog roast dinner to help celebrate JJ’s hospitable, and enthusiastic personality.  

August 12th & 13th, 2022

JJ lived his life to its fullest! He was known for his kind heart and lively spirit! He could be counted on for a good time! JJ enjoyed listening and dancing to various music genres, and partying with friends and family. 

Success in 2021

We had a great turnout and all-around a fun weekend with you!  Thank you for celebrating with us and raising money and awareness for Hospice of the Red River Valley again in 2021.

Show and Shine Car & Bike Show

In 2017, we implemented a Show and Shine Car & Bike Show to our Saturday festivities.  JJ's 2nd & 5th Annual Show and Shine's proved to be a success as well.  We had many cars and motorcycle show up for the show, and there were many vendors that were gracious enough to donate door prizes. Professional Photos were taken of every vehicle entered courtesy of G-LOC Digital Photography and photo packages offered with all proceeds going to Hospice.

Nightly Entertainment

We provide entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights to hype up the atmosphere! To date, Uptown Entertainment and DJ Service has provided the Friday night musical entertainment with his amazing light and sound setup. In the past we brought in a local band to liven up the crowd and rattle the rafters with a variety of classic and current songs. All are welcome to come out and have a great time. No matter if your 1 or 100 there are songs for all to enjoy!

Memorial Balloon Release

In 2018 we added a new way to honor those who have gone from our world and onto the next. We hosted our first Memorial Balloon release which allowed people to purchase a balloon and  write a special message or name of a loved one onto the balloon. After the hog roast we all gathered outside for a short prayer and moment of silence as the balloons ascended into the clouds. We look forward to continuing this tradition next year. ​
