Happy Labor Day from Pappa Bear's Catering!
Why do we celebrate Labor Day?
For many, the day/weekend marks the end of summer. But Labor Day is actually our country's way of recognizing the contributions of workers in this country and the history of labor in the U.S.
We hope that you have a safe and delicious Labor Day!

Picture this: you’re sitting on your porch, looking at the yard birds while savoring the ultimate smoked chicken. We’re bringing that cozy porch feeling to Haynie's Corner tomorrow for Front Porch Fest 2026!
Our chicken is brined for 48 hours for maximum juiciness and slow-smoked for 3.5 hours over cherrywood for that perfect subtle sweetness and deep smoke flavor.
On the Menu:
🐓Half Chicken + 2 Sides: $16
🐓Quarter Chicken + 2 Sides: $12
📍 Where: Front Porch Fest (Haynie's Corner).
⏰ When: Saturday, 9/5 | 3:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Come grab a plate, enjoy the festival vibes, and kick off the holiday weekend right. See you there!
