Recap: BBQ & Hucksters

What a great weekend for a fall festival! This year’s BBQ & Huckster’s Day kicked off last Friday night with our 10th annual BBQ competition, and a street dance with the Breakaway Band. They always deliver a great time! Saturday’s events included a Baby Contest and a Kids’ Pedal Tractor Pull, entertainment by the Nostalgia Band, a petting zoo thanks to the Butler FFA, and so much more. Our board members and many volunteers put in some long hard hours to make the weekend a success, as did our vendors and 27 BBQ teams!
