OHHH MAN…

An estimated 40 percent of Americans annually choose barbecuing as a leisure activity, especially for the Fourth of July, according to a survey by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Willie “Big Will” Anthony says he’s pleased to be among the crowd, adding the secret to success is in the sauce.
Big Will, who makes, bottles and sells his sauce by the same name also owns Big Will’s Wings ‘n Things at 202 W. Cherokee St. in Blacksburg.
The Shelby, N.C., resident recalled last year was his most memorable Independence Day holiday.
“I bought an 85-pound pig. Got home, dressed it up. A neighbor said he had never seen it done and wanted to watch. I put the pig on about 9 p.m., and in a couple of hours, a police officer stopped. He said he could smell the aroma of the pig cooking down the road a ways and wanted to know when it would be ready,” he said.
