🌭We are in the middle of School BBQ season! 🍔

Our BBQ has been feeding Helena Public Schools for 19 years, serving 6,000–10,000 meals each spring. It’s a true community tradition.

😎 The BBQ itself weighs more than 2,000 pounds - including a lockable steel cage to protect the propane tanks which were stolen 8 years ago
📅 These events are so popular, schools book their BBQ dates over a year in advance
👏 More than 300,000+ pieces of meat have been grilled on our BBQ!
