It’s a good time to be a meat lover. Paradise Locker Meats (which The Pitch featured in a cover story this March) is celebrating its 10th anniversary at 405 W. Birch in Trimble, Missouri, on Saturday, September 7.

“I don’t know exactly what’s going to happen,” Paradise owner Mario Fantasma says. “But I know everybody will eat well.”

See how the sausage is made, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., when the butchers demonstrate breaking down a carcass and transforming it into links. After that, enjoy dishes from some of the region’s most prominent chefs – Jonathan Justus, Michael Beard, Michael Foust, Howard Hanna, among them – who will be taking parts from a whole lamb and pig and turning them into something craveworthy between 12 and 3 p.m. A live band will be on hand for the final three hours, from 3 to 6 p.m., of the party.
