Re: Charity State Championship BBQ Contestant and Festival

Seymour, Missouri - June 22 & 23

This is a family event. Fun for everyone with KCBS BBQ, Car Club Car Show, Vendor Booths, Live Music, Candy Drop from ultra-light for the kids, Kids activities, Free Drawings and to end the event FIRE-WORKS!

THE KANSAS CITY BARBEQUE SOCIETY (KCBS), a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and enjoying barbeque, is the world's largest organization of barbeque and grilling enthusiasts with over 10,000 members worldwide.

KCBS sanctions almost 300 barbeque contests coast-to-coast throughout America. From volunteering to actual event production, our members also offer assistance to civic and charitable organizations who organize events.

KCBS serves as a clearinghouse of barbeque information which provides:

• Networking with related trade associations and other contest-sanctioning organizations

• Tracking trends in barbeque related products, and equipment

• Teaming up with other food organizations and the media to promote barbeque

With our library, and extensive archive of barbeque related articles, KCBS offers educational pro-grams, consultation services, and civic organization presentations to help promote barbeque as America's Favorite Cuisine.

If you are unable to make a cash donation, product donations welcome as well or even volunteer to help! We are looking for BBQ items, grills, sauces, and gift certificates. We will be holding a concert in the park on Friday night with a Desert people choice, live entertainment and BBQ dinners. There are 4 different categories of BBQ along with a People’s Choice Tasting event on Saturday. Plus M.A.A.C.C will be judging our classic cars and we will honor all Armed Forces!

THEN TO TOP OFF ALL OF THAT FIREWORKS!!!!!

This is an honor to ask for local and corporate sponsorship to help create a great Charity event to help children and families in our area. Come and join in on the Music, BBQ, Car Show plus all the other activities!  We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

April Hepko & Heather Johns
