Meat n’ Men

There are times in life when an opportunity comes and goes and later you wish you had it back. Don’t let this time be one of those. On April 4, men will meet on the hill of CrossRidge Church and partake of such goodness that in some places, it might be considered illegal.  With the smell of freshly cooked meats permeating through the air, one will not be able to resist such a savory scent causing an involuntary response to dive headfirst into a scrumptious plate of barbeque delights.

We invite you to not only join us in eating but also in competing. Several men have boasted they have the best brisket, ribs, and/or chicken and now it’s time to see who’s right. If you think you have what it takes to take home the top prize, then we want you to start preparing your team now. A panel of judges will be eating samples from each team to see who has the right to call themselves CRC BBQ Masters.

The food cooked by these potential CRC BBQ Masters will be shared with any who come. So even if you don’t enter the competition you are still welcome to come and enjoy a night of amazing food and great company.

Time

On Saturday, April 4th, we will begin dinner at 5:00 pm. Around 6 o’clock we will have horseshoes and washers/corn hole.
