Join us Saturday, August 1st, from 11:00 AM–3:00 PM at Hardware Sales for an afternoon of incredible BBQ, friendly competition, and community—all in support of the Max Higbee Center.

Seven local contractors are stepping up to battle for BBQ glory (and, of course, bragging rights), but the real winner is our community. Come cheer them on, sample some amazing barbecue, and help support an organization that provides recreation, employment, and community opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities throughout Whatcom County.

? What to Expect

BBQ Sampling – Taste brisket, ribs, and pork butt from all seven competing teams.

$2 per tasting ticket
Buy 10 tickets for just $1.50 each

Dunk Tank – Think you've got the arm for it? Take your best shot at dunking volunteers from each competing company.

$5 for 3 throws

Kids Game Center – Games and activities to keep the little ones entertained all day.

Silent Auction – Browse and bid on a fantastic selection of donated items.

Even better, 100% of ticket and silent auction proceeds benefit the Max Higbee Center, and Hardware Sales will donate 5% of all retail store sales that day to support their incredible programs.
