Today the World’s Largest Free BBQ event feeds between 15,000 and 20,000 people each year with 10,000 lbs of smoked beef shoulder clod, 1,000 pounds of cooked beans, homemade bbq sauce, and enough fixins like onions and pickles for everyone. The bbq started sometime in the 1980’s, roughly around 1983 according to BBQ Director Kyle Burk.
