America is celebrating our 250th Anniversary this year, and at OB’s there was a lot of patriotism in the air! The show was packed as it has been since the first one eight years ago! This year several of the bikini contestants that had registered didn’t show up but the 5 girls that did gave it their all to walk away with $1000!!! This year’s winner was Brandi! The band Megan Gunn and the Pistoleros rocked the place. Owners of other bars were in the crowd including Lisa and Sheldon from The Hideaway Bar & Grill in Pomona Park, Ethan from The Inn Between in Deland and Jim Lynch from Good Fellas and Godfather Custom Cycles in Edgewater. Jim had a motorcycle malfunction on his way out and someone sent a photo of him riding bitch which I just HAD to include in this issue! This year the amazing staff of beautiful bartenders that serve you with a smile…served you with painted tatas! This bar always goes all out to please the crowd. Scooter Joe, of Feed the Obsession served Great BBQ. The 2026 Best in Show winner was Mike Hosmer! A special thank you to Rue & Ziffra for their continued support of this bar’s special events!
