From 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, roughly a dozen local BBQ teams—including us—will be selling food to the public using official Baldwin City “BBQ Bucks”, which attendees purchase from the Baldwin City Recreation Commission between 4:00PM-8:00PM.

Live music all night! Smokin’ J’s play from 6:00–7:30 PM, followed by The Zeros headlining from 8:00–10:00 PM.

A portion of Friday night's vending proceeds support the Baldwin Education Foundation, while teams keep 90% of what they bring in from BBQ Bucks.
