Celebrating a landmark 60th birthday, Parkrose Hardware threw a party that felt more like a neighborhood barbecue than a corporate milestone.

They chatted about the store's rich history and the special deals that were attracting crowds. The duo dove deep into the nitty-gritty of tool rentals, highlighting Parkrose's extensive selection compared to those big box chains. Whether you need a snow cone machine or a backhoe, this place has got you covered. The heart of the conversation, however, was all about BBQ and the unique offerings from Bad Bones BBQ. Brian Gurney joined the festivities to discuss his award-winning sauces and rubs, emphasizing the craft behind competition BBQ versus backyard grilling. As they swapped cooking tips, it became clear that BBQ is not just about the meat; it's about the love and expertise that goes into every bite.
