The inaugural Greater Racine BBQ Invitational featured local BBQ masters vying for the taste-buds of their fans was a huge success!  Its going to be hard to top, but the 2nd Annual event promises to be bigger and better!  The event will once again feature multiple award-winning BBQ masters.  In addition to fantastic BBQ, the event is helping benefit Veterans Outreach of Wisconsin with a portion of event proceeds being donated.  To top it all off, the BBQ Invitational will be held at the Craft Beer Capitol of Racine County - the award winning Franksville Craft Beer Garden - which means there will be 26+ taps of cold WI Craft Beer and Live Music to enjoy as well.
