  WHERE: L & L BBQ in Refugio

  WHEN: Saturday, 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.

  CONTACT: L & L BBQ at 361-526-4455

REFUGIO -The L & L's BBQ in Refugio will jingle the town into the holiday season with a Christmas Extravaganza on Saturday.

The 2,500 square-foot restaurant will house at least 10 local vendors who will showcase and sell their jewelry, crafts and other merchandise, said Lenny Anzaldua, restaurant owner.

"We just want to get through the day and prove that it can be done," Anzaldua said.

Anzaldua, his manager Sharon Lowrance, and Juanita Freudiger, the owner of the Gifts of J 4, came up with the idea in early November, he said.

The Chamber of Commerce and Go Texan have sponsored the event by name only, he added.

Hopes are that those sponsorships will provide for a bigger and better event next year, Anzaldua said.

Food will be available as well as wine tasting, free wine glasses and door prizes awarded every 30 minutes.

The extravaganza is still accepting vendors interested in signing up.

There is no fee. The only charge is that the business bring a door prize.

"If those go well, we will probably find a bigger venue," Anzaldua said.
