Tulsa's annual
"celebration of great taste" will
take place on Friday, July 10th
and Saturday July 11th, 2009 on
the OU-Tulsa Schusterman Center
Campus, presented by Oklahoma
Central Credit Union and friends
of the Arts & Humanities Council
of Tulsa. It's one of Oklahoma's
most popular competitions, with
a Grand Champion selected to represent
the state in the National Championship
Cook-off in October at the American
Royal in Kansas City. We will
be awarding over $10,000 in prize
money to a field of 70+ BBQ teams.
The Art of Barbeque is celebrating
its 12th year supporting the Arts
& Humanities Council of Tulsa.
Our event features a world-class
barbeque cook-off contest, officially
sanctioned by the Kansas City
Barbeque Society (KCBS), great
musical entertainment, activities
for the kids, plus all the food
and beverage you care to enjoy.
We hope you'll be a part of the
excitement! More importantly,
though, the Art of Barbeque helps
support the important mission
of the Arts & Humanities Council
of Tulsa to bring the arts to
Tulsa youth. Funds from the event
underwrite ambitious efforts such
as the Artists-in-the-Schools
program, which gives K-12 kids
a hands-on opportunity to participate
in the arts right in the classroom.
In an age of strained school budgets,
it may be the only arts education
many children receive. And federal-level
studies clearly show its importance
in terms of improved overall academic
achievement and reduced rates
of high-risk behavior. Please
find the enclosed BBQ Team Entry
form. We're offering a $25 early
bird discount if your entry is
received prior to May 15, 2009.
We have room for 12 RV's and 75
cook sites. Along with the entry
form you will find a list of event
details. See you in July for the
12th Annual event!
