What goes better with BBQ than beer?!?! What goes better with beer than BBQ?!?!?
 
The Waterloo Optimist Club has teamed up with The Ferm Homebrew Club to throw our first Beer-B-Que Competition! This will be a rain or shine event held on Main Street at the Monroe County Courthouse in Waterloo, IL on May 12 from 11 AM-4 PM. Tickets are on sale now at https://beerbqwaterloo.brownpapertickets.com/  Combination armbands start at $35 during our online pre-sale. We hope you can join us to either compete in our backyard amateur BBQ competition (see link below) or to come and enjoy delicious BBQ and homebrewed beer! Must be 21 to taste beer; commemorative glass with the Beer B Que logo is included with a beer tasting pass! All proceeds from the day will go to the Waterloo Optimist Club.
 
The Waterloo Optimist Club is a youth fundraising organization that focuses on helping out the youth of Waterloo, IL and the surrounding areas.

Waterloo Optimist Club members participated in the 2017 Waterloo Homecoming event which was themed "Good Old Days" and harkened back to simpler times in Monroe County.     Members marched in the parade with a vintage tractor pulling a float, and later manned the wheel in the gallery of games.
