Special thanks to everyone who made the Hancock NY Blues, Brews & BBQ Festival this weekend such a success. Special shout out to @HancockPartners for hosting the event and of course all the sponsors that made it happen. We appreciate everyone showing up in the weather we had, and the wonderful press coverage from the local paper Hancock Herald and of course WBNG who always helps to get the message behind our events out to the public! We will be announcing all summer events online this week, and new rack cards with all event dates and Destination Hancock Magazines will be available by the end of month across Hancock. https://share.newsbreak.com/d8w2cmj9
