BBQ with a Side of Scholarships

Utah Agricultural Products Barbecue festivities are set for Oct. 3, prior to the Aggies taking on Colorado State University in Utah State University’s 2015 Homecoming football game.

Sponsored by Utah’s Own, the barbecue features local agricultural products, including beef, dairy products, turkey, pork, onion rings, salad, lamb, corn, apples and more, and all for a great cause: scholarships in USU’s College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences (CAAS).

Each year, participating companies and commodity groups donate, prepare and serve the wide array of food at the event, with volunteer support from CAAS students, faculty and staff. Over the years, the event has raised $138,550 for scholarships which supported 175 students in receiving their educations.

The event will be north of the stadium at Craig Aston Park (approximately 1350 N. 800 East, Logan) and tickets may be purchased in advance at 1-888-USTATE-1 or online at utahstateaggies.com/tickets. The price is $10 for adults (11 and older) and $5 for children (ages 3-10). Once inside, the food and drinks are included in the admission price. Currently, the barbecue is set for 3:30-6 p.m. However, the USU vs. CSU football game will be televised and kick-off time may change, the game’s start time may change and the barbecue will adjust to run 2 1/2 hours prior to kickoff.
