π₯π₯ QUE FOR THE RED WHITE & BLUE BROUGHT THE HEAT TO PARKVILLE, MISSOURI! π₯π₯
What an AWESOME weekend of smoke, ribs, wings, competition, and BBQ family! The Que for the Red White & Blue Contest in Parkville, Missouri had 43 cooks in attendance, and these cooks came ready to THROW DOWN! π¨π Because of the incredible sponsors, cooks, and everyone involved in this contest, an amazing $15,000 was raised for the Parkville VFW to help support our Veterans! That is what BBQ family is all about! πΊπΈ π₯π₯
A huge shoutout to the promoter, Kevin Heese for doing an amazing job taking care of all 43 cooks. Events like this take a ton of work, and Kevin knocked it out of the park! πππ
