LOCAL EATS: SAUCY LUKES CRAFT BBQ 🔥 

Saucy Luke lives in my neighborhood so I pass his van every morning on my daily walk. We crossed paths on the street back in October 2024, not long after I launched The Buzz and I told him then that I intended to write about him. I later back-burnered the story, knowing I’d need time to do it justice. However, after finally tasting his food, I can’t wait any longer to share about him here…

FOR THE ❤️ OF DOGS

😟 Did you know that more pets end up in shelters on July 5th than any other day of the year? Here are some tips compiled by the City of Buckeye to help your pets cope with the holiday:

• Put identification tags on your pet, even if they are microchipped

• Have a current photo of all your pets

• Create a safe and secure environment for your pet inside your home and turn on music or the TV.

• Stay with your pets during fireworks

SMALL BUSINESS OF THE WEEK 🧁 

Briaunna of Saguaro Sweet Tooth has been one of The Buzz’s biggest fans since the very start! It’s been so fun following her and seeing the evolution of her offerings. She’s just rolled out her new self-service Grab And Go “desserts, sweets, baked treats” Cart. You can browse the goodies and pay using cash or digital. Bags and forks are provided too! You can also find her treats at Gelato Tavern! Follow her on Instagram for her 4th of July schedule. The regular schedule is:

🗓️ Thursdays Only | ⏰ 7am-9pm (or sell out!) | 📍 31071 W. Osborn Road, Buckeye

Note: The cart is in a residential area so please be mindful and respectful. She also asks that people are honest in paying for any items they take so they can continue to offer this service.
