The Go BIG Committee is saddened to announce the cancellation
of the 2020 Go BIG or Go HOME BBQ Bash scheduled May 15th, 16th & 17th.
Plans are currently underway to confirm a date for 2021.
The Cook-Off is associated with the Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) and Grand Champion qualifies for American Royal Invitational in KS, MO and a chance at Jack Daniels Invitational. KCBS is the world’s largest organization of barbeque and grilling enthusiasts with over 20,000 members worldwide. KCBS sanctions over 500 barbeque contests worldwide. From volunteering to actual event production, our members also offer assistance to civic and charitable organizations who organize events.
The Bash is named in honor of Mark Marley, a longtime Plainview resident who spent his free time cooking for various fundraising events. Unfortunately Marley lost his life way too early to cancer and proceeds raised from this event go to the fight against cancer. We are proud to honor his legacy of community activism with an event he enjoyed doing – cooking.
