God Bless America Rat Rockers and all who serve and lost their lives in service to this great country of ours. Memorial Day and it will be that time with 3 day weekend for most of us, and others will be out having the BBQ’s and doing the cocktails, beers, and getting to the beach or even pools. It will be the official start of summer 2023.
It does look like 75% of us will be out and about hosting a party or will be in attendance of one, and sales are up on a lot of things this year, should I even say that booze sales will be up this weekend and beer is taking the cake on that even wine and non-alcoholic drinks, also hard seltzers. Joining that list will be party supplies and fireworks, sunscreen, and how about new grills sales are up!
