Wright Park – 71 N. 2nd Ave.
Think you’ve got what it takes to be crowned the best backyard chef? Join us for the Centera Bank Backyard BBQ Contest, a KCBS Backyard Sanctioned event, where local grill masters compete for cash prizes and bragging rights. Follow the mouthwatering aromas to Wright Park and see who comes out on top! This contest is for judges only—no public sampling. Special thanks to our event sponsors: Pepsi, Q-97, Z-98, and La Ke Buena.
