Last week I took my family on vacation. Before I left I mentioned, in passing, to my dad that I was thinking of incorporating a barbecue into Wooden Valley’s picnic grounds. He readily agreed with the idea; thinking that such an addition would make visitor’s time in our picnic grounds much more enjoyable. While I was away he got to work and in less than a week’s time he handcrafted a stainless steel barbecue with eight square feet of cooking surface; more than enough cooking space for a crowd. On my first day, back from vacation he pulled into the winery yard with the new barbecue in the back of his pick-up. I was both amazed and excited thinking of the enjoyment our customers would get out of his contribution to the new picnic area. Like most of the projects my dad produces, this one was made of surplus materials found around the ranch with only a few purchased items, which made me happy since his creation was crafted from 100% stainless steel.

The next time you’re looking for a special place to entertain a group of friends or family, reserve our picnic area and try out my dad’s new masterpiece!
