The BBQ Cook-Off is
March 17th, 18th and 19th. Sixty of
the world's finest BBQ teams gather
on the Fairgrounds of the Star of Texas
Fair and Rodeo and feed STFR visitors.
Teams compete in several categories:
Brisket, Chicken, Best Southern Hospitality
and Most Money Raised. The tip money
that visitors place in the teams’
Tip Jars helps support STFR scholarships
and other activities. The Tip competition
is the fiercest and carries the biggest
Bragging Rights for these teams! So
come on out, enjoy the best BBQ in Texas
and tip generously—it is a good
time and the money goes to educate Texas
Youth. |
