The Big BBQ Bash

It can be hard to meet people and feel connected — but at The Big BBQ Bash, we’re making it easy (and fun!). This free, community-wide celebration is your chance to enjoy mouthwatering BBQ, meet new people, and have a blast with friends, family, and neighbors of all ages.

Here’s what’s waiting for you:
🔥 Free BBQ fresh off the smoker (plus BBQ by the pound for sale to take home!)
🎯 Games, inflatables, face painting, a dunk tank, and prizes for all ages
🤝 Connection BINGO — an easy, no-pressure way to meet people and win
🧩 A chance to discover Kern’s groups where you can connect, belong, and make a difference
📦 Food bank sign-ups available at the event — no questions asked

Bring the kids, bring a friend, or come on your own — you’ll be welcomed with a smile and leave with both a full stomach and a few new names in your contact list.
