We're starting it off kind of slowly tonight. We will be adding more sausage inspired dishes as the month goes on. To celebrate the first day of Sausagefest we'll be offering half-priced draft beer. Also don't forget that we're having a dance party tomorrow night! We should be kicking that off around 10:30. Don't miss it.
