Great American Barbecue Festival and other weekend possibilities

Great barbecue comes with great responsibility — the responsibility to

not take ribs off another man’s grill.

The seventh annual Great American

Barbecue Festival, on Friday and Saturday at the

Overland Park International Trade Center (6800 W. 115th St.), will test

the limits of your powers. More than 180 competition barbecue teams are

expected to bring their best to the fundraiser for the 25-to-1 Fund (a

nonprofit affiliated with the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation).

Admission is $10 at the gate, and an all-weekend pass is available for

$15. You can find more information at
