Pat Tillman Memorial Post 53 American Legion Family hosted its annual BBQ Competition in Clocktower Park, DuPont, WA on Saturday and Sunday 20 & 21 August 2022. Thirty Pit Masters served outstanding BBQ and Fair type foods, while the beer garden, vendors, live bands, and supervised activities for the kids kept the crowds hoping both days.

The event was hosted by the American Legion Pat Tillman Memorial Post 53 and was made possible by our great sponsors. Many, many thanks to Northwest Landing ROA, Best Western – Liberty Inn, Tin Hut BBQ, Fairway Mortgage DuPont, and Grand Canyon University. We could not have done it without you! This year was bigger and better than ever, and we are already planning for next year. Mark your calendars for the 3rd weekend in August.
