Well, I believe this is the first post that I have seen that hasn't gotten at least one reply here.

Gary and I helped out John Atkins "The Barbeque Connection", Richard Middleton of "Red White and Q", Tuffy Stone of "Cool Smoke", Jeff and Joe Harless of "Team Joeboy", and many more volunteers with Q for a cure. Justin Harris, a member of Pigs on the Run BBQ team, has a rare childhood cancer that he is battling.

We served over 700 people in 3 hours. 15+ briskets, 10 butts, 10 shoulders, 70lbs of cole slaw, baked beans and rolls. Not to mention all the homemade deserts that was donated. Hugh Cassell Elementary School donated their kitchen and dinning hall to hold this huge event.

There was a country/bluegrass band that volunteered to play during the whole event. They were great.

There was coverage from 5 different news agencies there as well.

Here are a few pics.




 
Looks like it was a huge success. I hope things work out for Justin and his family. Truly a great thing you guys did for the family!
