🔥 WARNING: Visit North Platte IS ABOUT TO GET SMOKED. 🔥

And we mean that in the most delicious way possible. 😎🍖

We’re talking:
🍖 Some of the BEST PITMASTERS IN THE NATION
🏆 Great PRIZE POOL
🍽️ BBQ plate sales — because smelling it all day without eating it would just be cruel
🍺 Cold beverages at Pals Brewing Company
🎸 LIVE COUNTRY MUSIC from Love and Theft, CMA-nominated songwriters of the hit “Angel Eyes”
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family fun for everyone
🔥 And enough smoke in the air to make your clothes smell amazing for three days.

Friday night kicks things off with the One Meat Rib Contest, followed by Love and Theft taking the stage at 8 PM!

Then Saturday…it gets serious. 😤

🐔 Chicken — 12:00 PM
🍖 Ribs — 12:30 PM
🐷 Pork — 1:00 PM
🥩 Brisket — 1:30 PM
At 4 PM, somebody walks away with the hardware, the bragging rights and their share of $$$! 🏆💰

So whether you can smoke a brisket for 14 hours without checking it every six minutes…or your BBQ expertise consists of knowing exactly where the plate-sales line starts…
YOU BELONG AT THE SANDHILLS SMOKE SHOW! 😂🔥🍖
