Air Force and Army to compete for who makes the best BBQ
WILSON COUNTY, Texas – An organization that helps veterans in Wilson County is inviting the public to its first-ever ‘BBQ throwdown.’
On Saturday, May 11, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., hundreds are expected to gather at the Wilson County Expo Center in Floresville to watch teams from the Air Force and Army compete and determine who makes the best BBQ.
The Wilson County Veterans Services Office and Coffee, Cars & Veterans are hosting the free event, which honors the late Sgt. Robert M. Johnson, a U.S. Army Vietnam Bronze Star Recipient and native of Floresville.
“This is about building comradery and raising awareness about local veterans services,” said Ray Herrera, with the Wilson County Veterans Services Office.
The office aims to help veterans transition into civilian life. It estimates about 5,000 veterans live in Wilson County.
The event will also feature food trucks and family-friendly activities.
The address for the event is 435 State Highway 97 E, Floresville, TX 78114.
