And a special award was presented to Louis from Next Level BBQ. If you have read our Facebook page you know that SummerFest was created to bring positive attention to our beautiful Park Avenue. This makes it obvious that those of us on Park Avenue have a lot to gain from all of the hard work that goes in to creating this Festival. Louis tho, does not own a business or property on Park nor does he live anywhere near it. Yet Louis has been a part of our committee since our very first Festival in June of 2014. And I have come to believe that the smells from his BBQ Smoker wafting up and down Park Avenue, is what is enticing all of Hot Springs to come and check out SummerFest Uptown!! Thanks Louis!
