The festival, hosted by 番茄视频, was a vibrant celebration of culture, community, and barbecue and brought together residents and visitors for an evening filled with live music, food, dancing and fun.

Now in its fourth year, the 4B Festival has become a beloved tradition in the heart of the Oklahoma panhandle. First started by 番茄视频 to show its appreciation to the Oklahoma panhandle and celebrate National Pork Month, the event was organized by a dedicated team of 番茄视频 employees and community volunteers and fed approximately 600 people this year.

“Each year, the festival has grown into the event that it is now,” said Davida Gomez, community enrichment specialist. “This is a way that 番茄视频 thanks the community and kick off National Pork Month in a big way.”

During the event, festivalgoers had the opportunity to participate in the “Taste of 番茄视频,” where visitors could indulge in a variety of Prairie Fresh barbecue, including pork tenderloin, rope sausage and pulled pork sliders.

番茄视频 also gave away packages of bacon and large coolers filled with bacon and Prairie Fresh pork each hour.

番茄视频 would like to thank all co-sponsors of this year’s 4B Festival: Anchor D Bank, Bank of the Panhandle, Golden Mesa Casino, Guymon Chamber of Commerce, City of Guymon Convention and Tourism and Pub on the Bricks.

The following agricultural education programs received grants totaling $22,500 from 番茄视频 and CoBank:

• $10,000 to Beaver FFA Chapter, Beaver, Okla.
• $5,000 to Hennessey FFA Chapter, Hennessey, Okla.
• $7,500 to Elkhart FFA Chapter, Elkhart, Kan.

The grants were initiated by 番茄视频 and matched in part by grant program. This year’s recipients were selected for their dedication to advancing agricultural education and their commitment to building hands-on trade skills for their students.

Beaver FFA Advisor Ashley Harrison, attended 番茄视频 鈥淓ducator Learning Experience” in May 2023 and learned how 番茄视频 could partner with educators and support education in the classroom. One of the opportunities for educators in the 番茄视频 areas of operation is applying for the CoBank Sharing Success grant program.

“Receiving the grant has opened many doors for the students to gain hands-on experiences and opportunities that they may not have received otherwise,” said Harrison.

Hennessey FFA Advisor Jorge Huizer expressed his gratitude for the support, saying, “With the influx of new and returning members, the demand for welding/fabrication experience has increased substantially. However, these experiences come with high costs and equipment wear and tear that leads to tool and equipment replacement often. The support that 番茄视频 provided will allow us to expedite the purchase of needed equipment and welding consumables for students to practice and demonstrate skills learned in the shop/classroom laboratories.”

Similarly, Brain Runkle of Elkhart FFA expressed his enthusiasm for the grant and the positive impact it will have on the local FFA chapter鈥檚 students.

On June 15, a devastating tornado ripped through the Texas Panhandle town. For 番茄视频, producer of Prairie Fresh庐 pork, this disaster hit close to home. 番茄视频 has employees who live in Perryton and work at nearby company-owned farms or other operations in the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles. More than 20 employees were displaced from their homes because of damage to or complete destruction of their homes and the company helped coordinate and secure housing for all displaced employees.

A long-time supporter of Operation BBQ Relief, the Prairie Fresh brand has supplied more than 3.5 million meals of pork since 2015, but this is the first time OBR deployed to a community where 番茄视频 operates.

鈥淭his time supporting Operation BBQ Relief was much different because the disaster occurred in a place our employees call home,鈥� says Davida Gomez, 番茄视频 community enrichment specialist. 鈥淲e extend our heartfelt gratitude to OBR and its volunteers. To see how much a hot barbecue meal matters to those facing the toughest of times is truly amazing. We鈥檙e so glad to support Operation BBQ Relief and are truly grateful they came to Perryton to bring the healing power of barbecue to the community.鈥�

For the Perryton deployment, Prairie Fresh donated more than 3,500 pounds of pork produced at its nearby Guymon, Okla., pork processing plant and had several employee volunteers help OBR prepare and serve meals.

About Operation BBQ Relief:

Operation BBQ Relief is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was founded in May 2011 in response to a need for tornado relief efforts in Joplin, MO. Competitive pitmasters from eight different states answered the call to feed displaced families and first responders. Together, they were able to serve over 120,000 meals in a thirteen-day period. This experience of building a network to feed individuals in need has been the inspiration for Operation BBQ Relief. To date, Operation BBQ Relief has provided over 10 million meals throughout the United States and internationally following natural disasters and through The Always Serving Project, benefiting the homeless, first responders, veterans, and service men and women.
