The Art of BBQ at Oneok Field

On behalf of The Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, we’d like to invite you to attend the 13th Annual Art of Barbeque, presented by Oklahoma Central Credit Union. Art of Barbeque features a world-class barbeque cook-off contest, officially sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS).

COMPETE OR SIMPLY COME SAMPLE GREAT BBQ!

Tulsa's annual "celebration of great taste" will take place on Friday, September 24th and Saturday September 25th, 2010 at Oneok Field, presented by Oklahoma Central Credit Union and friends of the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa. It's one of Oklahoma's most popular competitions, with a Grand Champion selected to represent the state in the National Championship Cook-off in October at the American Royal in Kansas City. We will be awarding over $10,000 in prize money to a field of 70+ BBQ teams. The Art of Barbeque is celebrating its 13th year supporting the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa. Our event features a world-class barbeque cook-off contest, officially sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS), great musical entertainment, activities for the kids, plus all the food and beverage you care to enjoy. We hope you'll be a part of the excitement! More importantly, though, the Art of Barbeque helps support the important mission of the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa to bring the arts to Tulsa youth. Funds from the event underwrite ambitious efforts such as the Artists-in-the-Schools program, which gives K-12 kids a hands-on opportunity to participate in the arts right in the classroom. In an age of strained school budgets, it may be the only arts education many children receive. And federal-level studies clearly show its importance in terms of improved overall academic achievement and reduced rates of high-risk behavior. Please find the enclosed BBQ Team Entry form. . Along with the entry form you will find a list of event details. See you in September for the 13th Annual event!
