The ultimate BBQ competition is coming to Meridian! 🔥

This Saturday, the Meat & Tater BBQ Fest takes over Kleiner Park, bringing professional Pitmasters and BBQ teams from across the country for a KCBS-sanctioned showdown. Ribs, chicken, pork, brisket — and even a special Idaho Potato category — all judged at championship level. This is the real deal.

🦁 Presented by the Meridian Lions, the festival ensures 100% of proceeds stay right here in the Treasure Valley to support local causes.

And it’s not just about BBQ — festival fun runs all day:
🎶 Live music
🚗 A massive car show (thanks, Kendall Ford!)
🍻 Beer gardens
🍗 Food & vendors
🔥 Your chance to win a 2025 Ford Bronco Sport Big Bend 4WD (only 1,000 raffle tickets available!)

📍 Julius M. Kleiner Park, Meridian
🗓 Saturday, Aug. 30 | 10 AM – 9 PM
🎟 FREE admission

Bring your family, your appetite, and your community spirit. 💛

Comment “BBQ” for the website with details to be sent to you. 

And while you can’t snag tickets anymore, I’ll be at the sold-out Night for Sight Fundraiser Dinner on Friday helping to kick things off — watch my stories for a behind-the-scenes look!
