July 4th weekend party

I can't believe another fourth of July weekend is around the corner and we are rallyless once again. We plan on having a great weekend anyway. There are plenty of bikers that refuse to let the tradition die and we love and appreciate each and every one of you. The Boozefighters that call Johnny's their home will be here with bells on and they are the life of the party. We're kicking off the party on Thursday July 1st with Karaoke at 9:00. We open at 8:00 am Friday through Sunday for breakfast serving chicken fried steak and eggs and many other favorites. Our famous BBQ will be ready at 11:00 featuring our great burgers, pork sandwiches, teriyaki shirt steak, my award winning chili and more. A Boozefighter favorite the Los Hightops band will be playing for us on Friday from 8:00 to 12:00. This is a Boozefighter party so if we are at capacity Boozefighters will be our priority. Thanks for your understanding. These folks do a lot for us at Johnny's. Saturday night the party continues with Karaoke at 8:30. At sunset Sunday we'll have our annual show in the alley with our safe and sane fire works. Ice cold beer, great food and good friends, what more could you ask for?

A Great Cinco De Mayo

We had a great Cinco De Mayo.

Good food and good times were had by all. Our feature burger the Hollister Heat, entered by our own Pastor Henry got the first "10" rating since our contest began. I saw my friend Terra that enjoyed the burger today and she down graded it to a 9 because of next day issues. Those Serrano chili’s will come back to haunt you. Yesterday Annie’s entry the Rolling Thunder got a 10 followed up with an OMG in the comment section.

We’re having a hard time getting people to try the specials because they are hooked on either our standard cheese burger or their own concoction. We’re having fun with the contest though so come on down and judge one of our entries.

I'm slipping.

It seems like time is flying by so fast that I can't keep up. I'm trying to work on my book, get ready for my tax man, run the bar and sneak in some down town with my husband and I'm getting way behind on my web site and blog. Consequently events come and go and I forgot to announce them at all. So here's a run down of what's happening at Johnny's in March.

Friday March 13th at 7:00 p.m., we are honoring Cathy Micheal, a friend we lost to ovarian cancer with a benefit that will include great food and a raffle with all proceeds going to The American Cancer Society in her name. We'll follow it up with one of Cathy's favorite past times, Johnny's Karaoke.

I shouldn't need to tell you what Wednesday the 17th is. The annual Johnny's Saint Patrick's Day Bash promises to be a good one. We will be serving corned beef and cabbage at lunch as always and the free spread is at 6:30 p.m. Get here early for a good seat. We have been Hollister's St. Patty's day party headquarters for more than sixty years. The camaraderie is great and the corned beef melts in your mouth.

Saturday March 27th the Bomb Shell Bullies are back at 9:00 p.m. If you haven't heard them you don't know what you're missing. Put on your dancing shoes and come on down.

Sunday March 28th the Top Hatters annual Bike Blessing is at noon at Sacred Heart Church. Sign ups for the ride and event at Bolado Park afterwards are at Whiskey Creek starting at 10:00 a.m. At Johnny's we'll be serving breakfast beginning at 9:00 and our famous burgers and steaks from 11:00a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Join us for a blessed time.

Well that's March for you. April is full events too and i promise to be more diligent with my posts. Thanks for tuning in, Charisse

Welcome back party was a blast!

We all had a great time celebrating the safe return of the Delta Company and Wolfy from Iraq. The food was great and the band was awesome. The dance floor was full from the time the band started until they quit. One of the guys couldn't join us and he was sorely missed. He missed one heck of a party. We might have to plan another one just so he can participate. Some of these guys were on their third tour. We're hoping they are all home to stay. They served their country well. Remember our troops. They are spending their holidays stuck in the desert fighting for our country. Pray for them and send Christmas cards. Be there for the family members who are missing their loved ones. God Bless them all and God Bless America.
