2014 Praise the Lard™ Kids' Que

Kids' Que - 17th Street BBQOur second-ever Townsend Spice Kids’ Que was a resounding success and pretty much the cutest thing you’ve ever seen.

KidsQue-GroupHere are the competitors all lined up. We had a total of 17 teams in two age categories.

KidsQue-PairsTeamwork, timing, and organization are just a few of the lessons and skills honed while competing.

KidsQue-StokingChris Pritchard, from our 1-7 pit crew, kept the grills filled with hot coals. We had a burn barrel over to the side to keep a  supply of fuel ready as needed.
