Well things got a little crazy in my hometown this weekend. Luke Bryan came to town and played a local farm field about 3 miles from our home of Wonder Dog Ranch. In the middle of nowhere Conway Township Michigan.
I’m not a fan of Luke at all. Nor am I a fan of pop country at all. But the show was just around the corner and everyone I knew was there so why not? We had about 75 people tailgating with us so I needed to get something on the Yoder. I regret the lack of pics now.
I smoked 6 slabs of ribs Friday night cause I had to work Saturday morning before the show.
The Yoder was loaded.
Turns out 6 slabs of St. Louis spares is the comfortable limit on the ys640.
I smoked them for about 6 hours. Wrapped them up with squeeze, brown sugar, apple juice, and acv at the three hour mark. Unwrapped for the last hour.
Fresh off the Yoder.
Tray full of goodness.
I covered the ribs in more rub and spicy honey after I sliced them. The wife warmed them up in the oven a few hours before the concert. Again I had to work so this wasn’t ideal. It ended up working out well enough.
I fed the county sheriffs who were near us. Had to leave around 630 with my buddy who’s a dairy farmer to milk the cows. The deputies liked us enough after the ribs they let us drive the can am back into the show when we returned. Side by sides were banned so it was pretty cool of them. They laughed when we told them we had to leave and come back to milk the cows. That’s the place I live which makes it even crazier that 20,000 people showed up to a concert in the middle of a hay field.
Few pics of the show.
Me in the can am after I checked how many deer were dropped off for processing while we were gone, and waiting for my buddy to finish milking. Enjoying a nice cigar in the can am.
Not a ton of great Q view but an interesting story none the less. Our small town got a little crazy with 20,000 people in a farm field last night and it was the craziest thing.
Best part about this concert is the proceeds go to agriculture scholarships. That’s a big thing out here that most people never even think about. Farming isn’t easy and any support that can go to help the farmers is always welcome around here.
Here’s a link to the local papers story of the show if anyone’s interested:
Thanks for looking,

Luke Bryan throws concert near Fowlerville: 'These are true American farmers'
The country star's final stop on his Farm Tour 2021 was easily the largest event of its kind to come to Livingston County.
