This event tie-in with Fort McDowell Adventures is important to the Famous Dave’s name, as Dave Anderson, the founder of Famous Dave’s of America, the legendary BBQ franchise, is Native American. “We felt this partnership would be a great way to show our support of the local Native American community,” said Valley franchisees, John & Romy Erlandson. “Plus, it’s all about good times with family and friends, something we always strive for at our restaurants and in community events we work with.”
