Coles Crossing Dads Club to Host 8th Annual BBQ Cook-Off on November 7

Family Fun, Great Food, and a Community Cause Come Together in One Sizzling Event

One of Coles Crossing’s favorite traditions is back and bigger than ever! The Eighth Annual Coles Crossing Dads Club BBQ Cook-Off, proudly presented by Lester - Warren Team Realtor Associates, is set for Saturday, November 7 at the Community Lap Pool parking lot — and everyone in the neighborhood is invited to join the fun.

More than just a barbecue, this beloved event has become a fall staple, bringing the neighborhood together for food, family fun, and a shared community mission. This year’s Cook-Off features an exciting mix of activities for all ages. Thanks to a partnership with the HOA Events Committee, kids can enjoy a video game truck, bounce houses, and face painting — all completely free of charge.

In addition to the lead sponsorship from Lester-Warren Team Realtor Associates, this event is made possible thanks to the generous support of our other sponsors, including: Lone Star Pest Control, Starr Air & Refrigeration, Designs by Jenny, VillaSport Cypress, Veda Massage, Joe the Plumber, Moore & Company Electric, and Valve Accessories and Controls and a few others to be named shortly.

The entertainment doesn’t stop there. Live music from Mid-Life Riot is planned to set the stage throughout the afternoon

On the grill, expect some fierce but friendly competition. Cook teams will go head-to-head in four delicious categories: Ribs, Brisket, Chicken/Poultry, and a creative Wild Card round. Combined scores from these categories will determine this year’s Grand Champion, while guests get to take part by voting for their favorite in the People’s Choice contest using special event tickets.

Interested in competing? This year, competing is easier (and tastier) than ever — thanks to our partnership with one of our sponsors, teams can purchase a discounted meat package for just $65! Each package includes one brisket, two racks of ribs, and approximately five pounds of chicken thighs — everything you need to fire up your entry. Organizers are looking to expand the field and welcome new pitmasters to throw their hat into the ring. Whether you’re a seasoned smoker or a backyard BBQ rookie, now’s the time to show Coles Crossing what you’ve got.

As always, proceeds from the event will benefit a local cause, continuing the Dads Club’s commitment to giving back. So come out for the fun, stay for the food, and support a great community tradition.

Mark your calendars, invite your neighbors, and come hungry — we’ll see you there!
