Steak BBQ! Everyone is invited to gather after the race to custom cook steak on the Richmond Park Texas style BBQ starting at 5:30 Saturday evening. This will be a great opportunity to tell stories about the race and socialize, while enjoying a hearty meal in the process.

The restaurant supplies the steak, cooking sauces and seasonings, and baked potato and salad. Then...BBQ your meal just the way you like it on their spacious charcoal grill! Important: steak dinners are $13.50 and must be prepaid or reserved with your entry form to insure that you have a steak waiting at the feed!

You can also order a variety of delicious meals from the Richmond Park menu if the steak BBQ isn't to your taste. Go to their website at http://richmondparkbarandgrill.com/ for more information.

The awards brunch will be held the following day, Sunday April 27th at the Richmond Park Resort on Konocti Bay Road.. Again, it's important to pre-register for the race and indicate how many people you will be bringing to the awards brunch.
