Saturday, guests can stop by for Dickey’s Barbecue gear with all day merchandise giveaways.

“The Portland area has nothing like Dickey’s Barbecue Pit and everyone is getting excited about trying our authentic barbecue,” said first time franchise owner, Todd Saperstein. “Our location is near Southridge High School, so we’re looking forward to catering their events and giving back to the students.”
