BARBECUE SALES: BBQ at the Summit is a non cash event.

Selling teams and vendors will be supplied with a container, at registration, for collecting tickets and a form to complete that must be turned in with your tickets on Saturday by 7:30pm. This form provides the opportunity for you to provide your count of your tickets. Your tickets will be weighed and/or recounted by the Rotary Club and a check for 80% minus applicable sales taxes will be mailed to you within 2 weeks.
Several ticket booths will be located throughout the site. Please refer to the map for locations. Teams and vendors must not accept cash from the public. You are encouraged to sell t-shirts, sauces and other goods, but you are required to take tickets for all items.
