A Family For Every Child is proud to announce our 2nd Annual Heart of County Celebration. This year we are changing things up by adding a BBQ cook off! We will have professional and backyard divisions competing for the bragging rights of best barbecue ribs, pork, and chicken. We will also have a Bacon Side Dish in which competitors bring a homemade bacon dish for the chance to win the People’s Choice Award for best side. There will be a kid’s dessert competition allowing children the opportunity to show off their awesome cooking skills along side our other competitors.
This is a family-friendly event and there will be activities for kids.
