If you live in Virginia Beach, you may want to head to the Farm Fresh in the Great Neck Shopping Center for Family Day at the Stockman & Dakota Corral on Saturday, July 9th from 10 am to 3 pm.   Family Day will showcase all the great ways to grill Stockman & Dakota.  Plus they’ll have tons of food and cowboy-themed games for the whole family.

Farm Fresh is also proud to host the first-ever Stockman & Dakota Celebrity Grilling Showdown, which features local celebrities competing in a grill-off while winning money for their favorite charity. A winner will be selected based on attendee votes, so come support your favorite charity!

In addition to sampling Stockman & Dakota New York Strip Steak, Farm Fresh will offer samples (and coupons!) from partners like Smartwater, McCormick, Kellogg and many more!

The best part?  The entire event is free!

I have a birthday party in the area, so I will attempt to head over to check out the fun.  I’ll post on the Coupon Challenge Twitter page if/when I arrive.

Let me know if you head out!
