Mestizo Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Has anyone heard if The Dukes is doing their annual 4th of July party this year? I was highly anticipating going last year, but sadly I was sent on a last minute biz trip and had to miss the party for the first time ever. Really looking forward to making up for it this year! -Mestizo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junglechef Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Or any other event on the 4th to celebrate the good old U.S.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 No, David isn't planning to have a 4th of July party at River Market this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETDCAT Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Thats too bad, I've gone the last 3 years and it was always a great time. I guess Dave got sick of listening to all of the bitchin and moaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante99 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Just go to the River Market, order off the menu and take your own fireworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 ^ Right, right.. but then there will be nothing to bitch about. It just wouldn't be the same. I think someone should take it upon themselves to put some gazebo tents on a muddy field somewhere, and then make sure people need to wait just a little too long for their hamburger, while telling them that they're all out of Budweiser but they can have a Tiger Beer instead. It's tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobin Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 What does a 'tumblin' tumbleweed' have to do with this topic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opalred Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 the tumblin tumbleweed stopped rolling but will be fixed trumps big wind will get it rolling again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tradition. Great job. You have brilliantly illustrated why a private business owner wouldn't want to host an event for the CM expat community. Bitch, whine, moan. Good on ya!

It's tradition. The bitching is a tradition. The July 4th celebration at River Market started a few years ago after the VFW stopped hosting the event, probably because of the bitching. If River Market has decided against doing it this year I assume it is because the hassle doesn't justify the profit, or the bitching, or both. I'd rather have a Tiger than a Budweiser anyway. If they had genuine craft ales I'd be there with a big goofy grin on my face, spending like a drunken expat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
