The date for the BBQ event will be Saturday and Sunday, August 12-13, 2017. Set up day for those who want to participate will be Friday August 11th (if you choose)or Saturday morning, August 12th.
This year the format will be different. There WILL NOT be a judged contest. All of the teams selected will be allowed to sell directly to the public and act as caterers. Teams may keep all of the money they take in minus any percentage (team’s choice) that they donate to a specific charity.
There will be only eight (8) teams chosen to participate. Those 8 will be selected from the top twelve (12) SCBA teams in the state as of July 16, 2017. A written letter and form will be emailed to the top 12 teams and the first 8 to respond as recorded by the date of their return envelope will be selected. The remaining 4 will be on the stand-by list. The FLW people will advertise the fact that the BBQ is being provided by “All Championship Teams.”
Each of the chosen teams should pick their favorite charity and designate a percentage of their profits to be given to that charity. The FLW people will provide a banner naming the charity and the teams are encouraged to have members of that charity there to help serve the public. The teams may decide what percentage of their profits goes to the charity.
Any meat may be served: BBQ plates, sandwiches, sliders, servings of pulled pork, chicken pieces, chicken wings, beef, brisket, sausages and other meats.
There will be lots of free shows and activities, including live music concerts at the Metropolitan Convention Center in Columbia. Music superstar Easton Corbin will headline the music. The FLW people will provide tents, chairs, tables, power and water for the event.
If you want to participate and add some cash to your team’s account, this is the time to make sure you are in the top 12 SCBA teams as of July 16, 2917.
See you there!
