On Saturday, December 13, 2008, the Iowa Barbeque Society once again gathered at the Salvation Army parking lot in Des Moines. Over 30 volunteers showed up bright and early to fire up their smokers and spread out hundreds of items to distribute to the people of inner city Des Moines.
Hundreds of hand-knitted hats, coats, and gloves, over 100 fresh Christmas trees, nice used toys, one half ton of fresh cooked pork loin, 400 hot breakfasts, 20 gallons of hot cider, hot chocolate, fresh bread, cakes, cookies, and more were all distributed in less than two hours. The recipients ranged in age from toddlers to senior citizens. It was a bright sunny day and a good day for giving. Thanks to Sysco Foods, Cookies BBQ, Smokey Ds BBQ, Russ and Franks, Hawgeyes, The ISU Meat Lab, Woody’s Smoke Shack, and primarily the Iowa BBQ Society for purchasing the meat and trees. The funding for the Iowa BBQ Society is provided by the Marshalltown BBQ contest, as well as membership drives and special events.
Volunteers who helped were members of the IBS and Urban Dreams: Joe Cordray, Mike Tucker, Pat Jacobson, Speed Herrig, Bret Wram, Harlan Janssen, Terry Kirton, Chris Marshall, Jeff Wilkerson, Hank Maxwell, Shad Kirton, Leon Clemens, Russ Cerniglia, Woody Wasson, Brian and Jennifer Sweeny, Karen Kelly, Zach Butcher, Anne Rehnstrom, Kenna Joe Lambertson, Araceli Goode, Pam Long, Louis Long, Simon Long, Reggie, Tom Whitney, Mike Whitney, Steve & Chris Burch, John Monek, Ron & Dena Milhouse, Fred Horstman, Chris Wheeler, Michael, and FC Parrish.
Speed Herrrig was also presented an award for 10 years of dedication to the Iowa Barbeque Society at the event.
