The party will include hors d’oeuvres, a celebratory glass of champagne, soda, cake, live entertainment, and an appearance by Jacksonville Jaguars’ mascot, Jaxson De Ville. Attendees will also have an opportunity to take part in a raffle for great prizes and bid on special items and services in the silent auction. “We love to celebrate our anniversary by giving back to the community that has supported Woody’s so loyally,” explains Woody’s Bar-B-Q co-founder, Yolanda Mills-Mawman. “In addition to showing our guests a good time each year during our Spare Rib Eating Contest, we love the fact that we can raise funds to support a cause that’s near and dear to our hearts.
