Every other year in October you can always expect that the family of our Congressman John J. Duncan, Jr. will host a BBQ at the Civic Coliseum. Last night did not disappoint. Enjoy the sights and even the sounds.
Beginning the entertainment was the UT Pride of the Southland Band. They made a GRAND entrance.
The band filled up the front of the Coliseum floor
