About Us
The Legend of MeatFest
The first MeatFest was celebrated during the depth of quarantine on July 4th 2020, when the three Godfathers decided to celebrate the birth of our nation with a few smoked meats. These plans naturally were not communicated to our better halves, thus no sides were planned, only meat. Therefore this day was declared MeatFest and has grown now to a holiday which requires it own weekend every July (This year we will celebrate on July 13th).
MeatFest is a celebration of the gifts of our fellow animals and the many wonderful ways in which to prepare them for consumption. So on this blessed day, we Godfathers and anyone else who wants to cook meat, prepare our favorite dishes to share; the MeatFest of 2022 boasted 18 different meat products. So start up your grills, find your most stretched out pair of pants and prepare to celebrate all God's creations in their tastiest forms.
The Statutes of MeatFest
1.) All meat must be prepared by the attendee and served with love and care on the Grand High Meat Table. Please plan to bring meat ready to be served at 5:30 pm unless you are coming early to cook/smoke on-site. If you are cooking / smoking in brotherhood with the godfathers on the day of, please allow enough time to cook for 5:30pm serving and let the Godfathers know you will be on-site to cook/smoke your contribution.

Let's Help Our Neighbors Out Too
We are grateful to have a community of BBQ loving friends who come together with us each year to share our love of all meat-related eats, but we know not everyone in our community is so lucky. That's why starting in 2024 we will also be collecting canned goods or monetary donations for Washington County Food Helpers (Formerly the Washington County Food Bank).
