🔥 Wrapping Up a Season… and Gearing Up for What’s Next 🔥

As we close out another incredible year for Shorty’s, we’re also excited to share that this chapter is helping pave the way for something new — Shorty’s Burgers & Brew 🍔🍺

What started as working festivals, fresh squeezed lemonade stand & a food truck built on hard work, family, and community support has grown into a dream that’s taking its next step. Shorty’s will always be our roots, and now it’s fueling the vision for a place where we can bring the same bold flavors, welcoming vibe, and small-business heart to a permanent home.

This season was amazing!! From festivals and football games to fundraisers, private events, and community celebrations, we served a whole lot of chislic, curds, corn dogs, lemonade, mini donuts, and smiles — and we couldn’t have done it without you.

We’re endlessly grateful for:
• Every customer who stood in line
• Every event that trusted us
• Every share, tag, and recommendation
• Our hardworking crew, rain or shine
• And a community that continues to support local business ❤️

As the Hot Box rolls into its winter rest, we’re still catering, still building, and working behind the scenes to bring Shorty’s Burgers & Brew to life.

Follow along on facebook for construction polls, updates & sneak peaks!

📣 Now Booking for the 2026 Season!
We are officially accepting bookings for:
• Festivals & large events
• Food truck appearances
• Private events & catering
• On-site events at our new Shorty’s Burgers & Brew location

If you’re planning ahead for 2026, we’d love to be part of it. Send us a message or reach out to get on the calendar early.

From our family to yours, thank you for another unforgettable year.
Here’s to honoring our roots and building what’s next.

— and soon, Shorty’s Burgers & Brew 🍔🍺

This evening, as we hand out our donated holiday meals, we ask for prayers, good thoughts, and kind intentions for the families receiving them. 🤍
May these meals bring comfort, warmth, and a reminder that they are seen, loved, and supported by this community.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make tonight possible — from those who nominated families, to those who donated, shared, and lifted others up this season. This is what community looks like.

Wishing peace, hope, and a gentle holiday season to all. 🎄✨
