Tickets On Sale For Farm Night BBQ '17

From Farm Night BBQ: The Bellamy Brothers, one of Florida’s most successful hit-makers, will headline the second annual Farm Night BBQ on Feb. 24, 2017. The event is 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the M&B Products dairy farm, 8601 Harney Road. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are now on sale! Many thanks to this year’s title sponsor: Fresh from Florida – the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services.

The inaugural Farm Night BBQ raised more than $10,000 for Temple Terrace youth recreation programs, and having the Bellamy Brothers on the bill is sure to spark even more interest in the event, said Dale McClellan, president of M&B Products, Inc.

“This is exciting,” he said. “We’ve got a big-time band, some of the best barbecue in Florida, and a generous helping of Temple Terrace hospitality − all at an amazing price. This will be a night to remember.” Farm Night BBQ 2017 promises an exciting evening of family fun. Kids will get a taste of farm life, with a chance to see a butter-making exhibit, cracker whip/roping demonstrations and more. They’ll explore a variety of hands-on experiences sponsored by Hillsborough County Ag-Venture. There will be hayrides, a bonfire and other
activities. Representatives from Temple Terrace’s Farm2School program at Greco Middle School also will be on hand, teaching kids about the importance of agriculture.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Farm Night BBQ without great food. The lineup includes slowsmoked barbecued ribs, chicken, pulled pork and hamburgers, along with corn on the cob, baked beans, coleslaw, farm-fresh ice cream, strawberry shortcake and more. Beer and wine will be sold separately at reasonable prices. IDs will be checked. A big “Thank You” goes out to M&B Products and Temple Terrace Masonic Lodge #330 F&AM for putting on this event. We would also like to thank all the other sponsors and volunteers who contributed, as well as the City of Temple Terrace, the Greater Temple Terrace Chamber of Commerce, Premier Signs and Hillsborough County Ag-Venture.
