Behind The Scenes!
Our Board of Directors & Planning Committee are an important part of the CHEO BBQ. Thanks to their dedication and hard work- not to mention the extra ideas, hands and support- they make the event possible.
The team meets once a month in the Fall and every two weeks in the Spring to help with the planning process and decision making. It’s surprising how much work goes into an annual event!
For general inquiries, please contact information@cheobbq.com and your email will be directed to the appropriate contact.
