HOW MANY DAYS???

In just 8 days there will be a weekend full of BBQ that is more than just finger lickin’ good!! Oct 7 and 8 at the Toyota Stadium in Frisco Texas the 9th Annual BBQ Cookoff & Festival will be happening.

There is still more room for YOU in all areas where there would be joining to be a BBQ team, a sponsor, a volunteer, or a vendor!!!

There is NO skills needed nor the biggest grill to be a BBQ team! Gather some friends and let those competitive juices flow!! Only amateurs here!  Looking for info on how to do that… http://www.campcraigallen.org/bbq-teams

If you are involved in a business, or are a individual that would like to join Camp Craig Allen’s mission to provide better quality of life for those living with the most overlooked physical disabilities this is a place for you!. More info can be found on http://www.campcraigallen.org/sponsors

If you are interested in lending a helping hand during this BBQ this is the place for you. A volunteer T-shirt you will get for signing up as a volunteer, but more than that your heart will be filled with joy! Unlimited sampling of the great BBQ on that Saturday for just $10 is a perk. For more info you can go to http://www.campcraigallen.org/bbq-volunteers!

If you have an interest in sharing your stuff Camp Craig Allen has an interest in sharing what we have been doing and who we are doing it for! It’s a win-win situation, and the place for you!! You can go to http://www.campcraigallen.org/bbq-vendors!

If you would like to just come out, and see what the fuss is over tickets are $25 for Fri. night 5 PM-11 PM which includes a special BBQ dinner, full casino, auction, bands, and more!! This is more of an adult party so 18 or older please! Tickets on Sat are $10 From 10 AM-7 PM there will be unlimited samples of great BBQ, vendors, auction, bands, wheelchair hockey, wheelchair basketball, and you never know who the celebrity judges might be! To put in a little plug for myself bring the kiddos by my area which is the kids corral. They will enjoy face painting, games, arts and crafts, clowns, balloon animals, prizes, and much more! Saturday is full of family fun and fellowship! Hope to see everyone there!! To get tickets to the event for either night go to  http://www.campcraigallen.org/!

If for some reason you see that you will not be able to attend, please make a point to go to our website, http://www.campcraigallen.org, and donate what you can!

I leave you today with our BBQ flyer! Please be sure to share this info with anybody and everybody! Hope to see you in 8 days!

Rolling on, Stephanie

Hitting the hay?

Everyone needs a place to hit the hay, and a weekend full of BBQ fun On October 7 and 8 at the Toyota Stadium in Frisco will make you need to rejuvenate those muscles! So I have just the place for you to do that!  You best not wait though because the deadline is next Fri. 9/16! If you need hotel accommodations please contact our host hotel, Comfort Suites Frisco, that is just a few steps away from the BBQ event site. Ask for the Camp Craig Allen block which is $89/night at 972-668-9700. Book NOW! After 9/16 rooms will be at least $100/night.

Dad and I already have our room booked and ready to go, because there is no way we want to leave early from all the fun and drive back to Fort Worth. Then to turn around and drive back to Frisco. That makes me extremely tired just thinking about it! It is so worth getting a room, I promise!
