Attention shoppers! Whether your Memorial Day weekend plans include attending a wedding, going to your cousin’s graduation party or bravely diving into an ice-cold pool or lake, if you enjoy a good garage sale, you need to make Pork Shop part of your unofficial start to summer.
On Saturday, May 25, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Schlafly is hosting Pork Shop – essentially a pig roast combined with a public yard sale. At this one-of-a-kind, bargain-shopper bonanza, you can rummage through stuff being sold by more than 50 vendors in the parking lot of the Schlafly Tap Room at 2100 Locust St., all while eating, drinking and listening to live music. The morning crowd of Pork Shop shoppers can fill up on coffee and beignets made by the Tap Room kitchen crew. For lunch, the brewery will roast six whole Missouri hogs and serve Schlafly brews on draft to help wash down the tasty ‘cue. Admission to the event is free, although you do have to pay for all those new-to-you treasures, as well as for food and drinks. For more information, visit schlafly.com/porkshop.
