The Harbourside Ballroom was filled with the smells of barbecue and great music for the annual Memorial Day Barbecue.

Due to the rain, the barbecue was moved from the beach to the ballroom. However, guests were still able to enjoy the festivities, such as the abundance of traditional barbecue foods, music from the Little Z band, hula hooping and various games. 

Red, white and blue flowers decorated the tables.
