Cruise the Crossroads this weekend! Hambone Fest is underway, and Cruzn The Crossroads Car & Truck Show is FREE Saturday 9a-3p. 🚗 Come early for breakfast: Southside Brew has the most scrumptious food truck breakfast you'll ever eat, starting 8ish. Our Grandma's House of Pancakes is around the corner, and Watermelon Slim is rocking blues brunch at Bluesberry CAFE 1 block away. The Rustenhaven Band plays 11a-2p, AND:
📸 You'll get to meet Vic Barbieri -- and peek under the hoods with him and all the cool and classic car owners. Vic designed our now-famous Crossroads marker at the corner of Blues Highways 61 and 49. Fun fact: look closely at the sculpture's very top, and you'll notice... that's a Studebaker-shaped S. GUESS who owns multiple old-school Studebakers?! 😂
💙 Bluesy-est car ever? Charlie Musselwhite Fan Page fans know: it just might be his Cadillac. We're told it might make an appearance... 😉
