The Rotary Club of Bastrop County is hosting an internationally sanctioned barbecue contest on Memorial Day weekend.
The Lost Pines BBQ event will be May 27-28, at Riverbend Park in Smithville. The Rotary Club will throw the ultimate celebration of all things barbecue. Events include awesome live entertainment, a kids zone, beer tent, silent and live hybrid auctions, nonprofit fundraising, vendor tents, and adult and children cookoffs. There is still space to be a competitor and even room to rent an RV spot on site. So nobody will miss out on the fun. Visit our website for more details: www.BastropRotary.comWe are specifically looking for help on the day of the event, as our club is relatively small compared to the significant event we're about to host. We are expecting hundreds of visitors of all ages. Volunteer opportunities come with free admission to the entire event. We need help in all areas on the day of the event. We'll have a job for you if you are interested in helping with admission gate tickets, beer sales, auction bidding, kids amusements, or set up and clean up!A special thanks go to our small but mighty team of barbecue event planners, who additionally meet on Saturdays to make the event a success.
