The weather was “just about perfect” for birding, bike rides and barbecuing at Carow Park. The 15th annual Lupine Junefest Bike Tour, Mercer Bird Festival & Mercer Area Chamber Amateur Barbecue event attracted folks from several states. The weather, which peaked out at 82 degrees was great for riding. There were a half dozen contestants for the first year of the barbecue competition.. The three judges included Kevin Danley, of Mercer, and Richard and Tammy Knapp, of Appleson. They all have experience with barbecue food service.
