2025 Nisqually Valley BBQ Rally Recap
We had such a great time at this year's Nisqually Valley BBQ Rally in Yelm, WA! This event is presented by the Yelm Chamber of Commerce, with so many local businesses sponsoring the event. As one of this year's sponsors, we were excited to participate and support this amazing annual community celebration!
Our Marketing & Community Outreach Coordinator, Lacie, was invited to serve as one of the Amateur Andy BBQ Judges—what an honor! She joined a group that included five professional judges, from the Pacific Northwest BBQ Association, and four other sponsors who were chosen as judges. The group had the opportunity to judge some truly delicious entries! All judging was done blind, so no one knew which team's BBQ was being presented and judged. But let's just say — it was all incredible! The hard work and early morning dedication that's put in by these teams truly paid off. Everyone brought their A-game to this year's event!

The BBQ Rally was more than just delicious food—it was about bringing our community together. Between the vendor booths, entertainment, face painting, kids activities, and incredible BBQ! There was definitely something for everyone to get involved. If you missed out on this year's event, we highly recommend marking your calendar for next year.
