The BBQ Championship is sanctioned and will follow KCBS rules.

Welcome to the website for the Bates County's Great American BBQ State Championship & Fall Festival. This will be our second year with the BBQ after a very successful first year.

The Butler Police Association was formed with the idea to give back to the community where we live and work. We have annual community projects that we support from fundraisers like the BBQ Championship. These projects consist of Scholarships, Shop with a Cop Program for underprivileged children, Support Children’s Athletics, Purchased Automated External Defibulator for patrol cars and the swimming pool, Donated to the Senior Center, Purchased a tracking and drug dog for the Community just to name a few.

Last year the BBQ Championship and fall festival brought alot of dedicated visitors to the fairgrounds. As with many other years we had a very rainy weekend. We still had 45 competition BBQ teams that graced the fairgrounds. We paid $8,000.00 in payouts for the BBQ Competition. This year we will be paying the same $8,000.00 dollars in payouts.

This year we are expecting a large crowd with even more activities. Many of these activities are being performed by community civic groups to support their causes. Please look at our entertainment section for a complete list of things to do at the festival. We are sure that no matter your taste in activities there will be something here for everyone. We look forward in seeing you at the fairgrounds in September.
