Sterling Ridge Village Association Hosts Annual BBQ Challenge & Kid’s Festival
THE WOODLANDS, TX – The Sterling Ridge Village Association held its 16th Annual BBQ Challenge & Kid’s Festival on Saturday, October 22nd at Cranebrook Park. Thanks to very generous sponsors, $11,700 was raised and will be used for donations to local elementary schools and freshmen college scholarships for village students.
There was a high turnout on the sunny fall day as residents enjoyed the fantastic BBQ cooked up by neighborhood BBQ teams, and fun activities for kids. Along with face painting, rides and bouncy houses, community members enjoyed meeting the fire department, Sheriff’s deputies, and Township representatives along with local businesses.
“It takes a lot of effort, but we love holding the BBQ event, our biggest each year,” shared Eric Fishhaut, Vice President of the Sterling Ridge Village Association Board. “So many of our residents come and everyone has a great time for free while we are able to raise some serious money for our local schools and students.”
Awards are given in the BBQ competition for the best in the categories of ribs, pulled pork, brisket and beans, as well as the President’s Award for best overall. This year there was also a fan favorite award that was dedicated in memory of village resident Roger Christ who passed recently in a tragic vehicle accident.
The neighborhood of Ledgestone, organized by Suzi Leighton, Roger’s widow, took home a number of awards including the fan favorite and President’s Award for their deliciously smoked meats and beans. Abramwoods won for best brisket.
Sponsors for this fun event included Ivan and Natalia Arjona REMAX Realtors, BMW of the Woodlands, Bastion Engineering, Ezee Fiber, Sheriff Rand Henderson, County Commissioner James Noack, Accent Shutters and Shades, Wheeler Pediatric Dentistry, Hughes & Cozad Orthodontics, and Howard Hughes Corporation.
