The event, sponsored by Hassman Termite and Pest Control, will take place from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., offering attendees the option to dine in or carry out their meals.
Tickets for the event are available for $10 in advance from any 4-H Club member, Downtown Lions Club member, or by calling 785-825-1807. Tickets at the door will cost $12.
Additionally, bulk meat will be available for purchase. The barbecue is being held across the street from the Tony’s Pizza Events Center parking lot in Kenwood Park.
Proceeds from the event will support the Central Kansas District 4-H Club, continuing a long-standing partnership between the Salina Downtown Lions Club and Saline County 4-H. The club, which has been active in the community for over 102 years, has sponsored local 4-H activities since 1925.
Funds raised will go towards youth activities in Saline County, including support for 4-H, youth baseball, music events, and the Lions Sight program. Over the past 25 years, the Salina Downtown Lions Club has contributed more than $367,000 to these efforts, with $16,400 donated in the last two years alone.
