How did we ever get invloved with Bar-B-Q?
The Princeton Rotary Club supports both international and local programs such as Eradication of Polio, the Boy Scouts, Youth Sports, and college scholarships. The proceeds from the event will go to these and other charities that approach us for funding.

Every year the club searches for new ways to raise money and increase our ability to support our community, state, and country. Many of our members were big fans of Bar-B-Q, although Wisconsin is on no bodies list of hot destinations for great Bar-B-Q. It was our clubs idea to capitalize on the growing popularity of Bar-B-Q (as a cusine, culture, and lifestyle) and at the same time support our many worthy causes.

BBQ competitions have become extremely popular and are regularly featured in the national media on networks like FOOD TV & THE TRAVEL CHANNEL.

Princeton is located in the center of Wisconsin 's major population centers including Milwaukee , Madison , Wausau , Eau Claire , Appleton/Fox River Valley, Oshkosh , Fond du Lac . As a tourist attraction Princeton draws people from as far away as Chicago and Minneapolis.

What is Bar-B-Q? (it's NOT grilling)

To know barbecue, real barbecue, you have to first realize that cooking hot dogs, hamburgers, or halibut over charcoal briquettes in the backyard isn't barbecuing. It's grilling. Barbecue—which is really a noun, not a verb—is meat like pork shoulder, beef brisket, and ribs cooked long and slow over hardwood until it becomes deliciously smoky and buttery soft. To lump together real barbecue with grilling is like mentioning Southeastern Conference and Ivy League football in the same breath -- a good analogy because in places where barbecue is king, like Texas, Tennessee, and the Carolinas, it is held in the same reverence as football.

But while barbecue is primarily focused in southern and border states, it is growing in popularity all around the country. "Barbecue is an exploding phenomenon," says Carolyn Wells, executive director of the Kansas City Barbecue Society. "We've gone through all the ethnic foods and now we're coming back to our roots. Barbecue is the only truly indigenous American cuisine." Read the entire article >> by Sam Gugino aka SamCooks.com
