BBQ & Blues in the Park

“I still got the blues, still got my guitar, got a pulled pork sandwich and a PBR”

Couldn’t have said it better myself! Blues and barbecue just go together. Take a dash of the Charlie Morris band and a big ol’ heap of Wildwood BBQ and you’re looking at the perfect start to a Friday night.

The sun turned the sky purple, wood smoke filled the air and Charlie worked his ubiquitous blue Strat on stage. At the Wildwood BBQ tent, Big Lou was breaking a sweat tending the grill and keeping the masses fed, and the response was one of approval. Many were anxious to try “that new place,” and get their hands on some of the swag- PCI ball caps, luggage tags and Wildwood meat rub.

Putting on a show of his own was Greg “Stick Man” Musille showing off his skills with the, well… sticks. Check him out.CIMG0056

A huge thanks to the City of St Pete Beach and especially all those who came out for the festivities. We hope you enjoyed the grub, cause there’s more where that came from!

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

Ribbon Cutting Video

It was a postcard perfect day at PCI for our official ribbon cutting ceremony. The reception was held in the lobby where there was champagne and plenty of WildWood BBQ munchies, and guests were given guided tours of the hotel and restaraunt.  In attendance was St. Pete Beach Mayor Michael Finnerty who issued a proclamation declaring October 22nd Postcard Inn Day. Off to a pretty good start…

Wildwood BBQ prepared a whole pig along with some killer baked beans, coleslaw and cornbread.
