We’re just one week away from a Goodland tradition, the annual Spammy Jammy at the Little Bar in Goodland.
The event, held to mark the beginning of summer and ward off hurricanes, is known for its unique blend of Spam-themed activities and pajama-clad attendees.
The event also features live music and a Spam sculpture contest.
It starts with a kickoff party at 7:30 p.m., June 27, with Raiford Starke, aka The Starke Raving Spam Band.
Then at noon, June 28, Merrill performs; followed by Raiford Starke at 4 p.m. and Dan Signor at 8 p.m.
Little Bar is at 205 Harbor Place N., in Goodland. For more, visit littlebargoodland.com.
