BBQ on the Bow

02/05/2025

We had a planning meeting for the Bassano Alberta bqq contest "Small Town Smoke Down" This contest will be held on May 30 and June 1 2025. It is always a great collaboration between BBQ on the Bow and the Town of Bassano. BBQ on the Bow was able to share $1500 of the Yoder 640 proceeds back to the town. This smoker was donated by Smoker Broker and tickets are sold all bbq season to help support these bbq events across Alberta. .

Thanks to the Smoker Broker donation of the Yoder YS640, BBQ on the Bow was able to fundraise and share the BBQ love into communities all across Alberta. This cheque given to the Didsbury Lions Club is one portion of the funds raised.
