An annual Frisco tradition may come back differently in 2022. The Colorado BBQ Challenge, a Kansas City BBQ Society sanctioned competition founded 28 years ago and usually held over Father’s Day weekend, hasn’t occurred for the past two summers due to the coronavirus pandemic. Now, the Frisco Town Council is figuring out how exactly to have it return post-pandemic.
In May, the town of Frisco began conducting a survey for feedback on the event that is Colorado’s longest-running barbecue competition with live music, pig races, a 6K and more. The results of the survey were revealed during a Town Council work session Tuesday, Sept. 28.
There were 1,793 survey responses, which town spokesperson Vanessa Agee said was an unusually high amount compared to other surveys. The feedback, while mixed, indicated that the community is open to some change and evolution for the event.
