Siesta Key Oyster Bar hosts Backyard Grill Out to support overseas troops

On July 4th, in honor of the sacrifices made for us by members of the military, Siesta Key Oyster Bar will be holding a traditional backyard grill out. It is because of those in the military that Americans are able to celebrate Independence Day in freedom and safety.

The son of one of SKOB’s owners is now serving in Afghanistan. She says, “This war has gone on a long time and we don't want the latest deployment troops to feel that they aren't appreciated, so SKOB will be providing a large banner that will be displayed on the 4th for all guests to sign. It will be sent to the 214th Combat Brigade.” 

In addition, 1/4 pound hot dogs, BBQ chicken drumsticks, and Italian sausages will be grilled up for guests and a percentage of the proceeds will go to providing goody packages to the troops.

Please come out and help us support our freedom
and the members of our military. And don't forget to enjoy the Siesta Key beach Fireworks while you're out here!
