AMERICAN ROYAL RECAP 🤠🔥
We had the MOST fun this weekend!!
We were lucky enough to get a CHICKEN CALL and hear O.G. Bandits called out of nearly 400 teams… which is absolutely WILD and something we will never take for granted. 🧡🖤
BUTTTTTT… the absolute BEST, MOST AMAZING part of the entire weekend?!
Hearing our best friend Charles Winslow-Bey ’S NAME CALLED LAST. 😭😭😭
Smokey Bey's Barbecue A. WORLD. CHAMPION. 🏆🌎
Unbelievable… but also SOOOO believable.
Charles and April are truly two of the greatest humans we have ever had the privilege of knowing. We love them, we believe in them, and watching this moment happen for them was something we will NEVER forget.
Charles — YOU FREAKING DID IT!!!! 🏆
We seriously could not be prouder.
TEAM BANDITOS HAS A WORLD CHAMPION, Y’ALL!!!!! 😭🔥🏆🧡🖤
What. A. Weekend.
And we absolutely cannot wrap up our American Royal weekend without thanking the AMAZING sponsors who stand behind O.G. Bandits all year long! 🧡🖤
