Anyone up for the 1st ever BBQ Brethren National Bash?

[Happy Hapgood]

Geographic center of the USA is Lebanon, Kansas. Maybe Spring of 2020 ?



Would be great to see all make the pilgrimage.

It's just a thought.

Only 150 miles further than Texas. Could be doable.

I was thinking sort of the same thing but keeping it in far North Texas but with a different name.

That would be amazing, Mike! :thumb:

I got family moving to Kansas next year...so I could get a multipurpose trip going...:idea: Got family near Denver, too.

If that works out it'd be very farking cool - nice one, Mike! :clap2:

Yep, campsite for 90,000, please :shocked:. That is a huge undertaking, but if you are willing to take it on, I will do my best to attend.

Mike, is there any camping, National/state park, etc nearby? Do you have any feel for how many folks we’re talking about? Would it be more than two days? How about events, entertainment, etc?

Just throwing in some stuff to think about. Would we have a committee (maybe 6-10 folks) who would put this thing together? Let me know what I can do to help.

There are some rv parks/campgrounds in the area. They are the first thing I check for when I think about going anywhere.

Do we want to include our Brethren in AK & HI? Then we'll be going to South Dakota.

Interesting idea though Mike, I'll keep it on the radar. :thumb:

I’m all in. Problem is, not a damn thing in Lembanon Kansas. Perhaps choose something off I-70 or I-35 or I-135. Also, picking a site closer to a big city like Wichita or Kansas City helps those who fly in. Or picking a more remote location with a large camping area would be great too. Lots of reservoirs here as we have no true lakes.

I would definitely entertain attending, great idea Mike

That would be fun! :cheer2:

And not to mention, any business that deals with any aspect of BBQ will want to be there and possibly make donations to help keep our out of pocket cost down. Heck, we may even get a sponsor, or two.

Thanks Bigdog. Any airports and campgrounds available reasonably close? Bigabyte needs to wake up too. :becky:

Y'know, DFW area has two airports and Lake Ray Roberts has a lotta campsites . . .
