Recognizing the Flower Mound Smoke Fest Competition and Fundraiser.
The Flower Mound Smoke Fest not only highlights the community's love for barbecue but also serves as a platform for local talents, with 20 teams from across North Texas competing in various traditional barbecue meat categories. It is sanctioned by the Lone Star Barbecue Society and aims to create a family-friendly atmosphere, featuring competitions, games, music, and a car show, thus fostering a sense of community among attendees and participants.
Senate Resolution 361 recognizes the first annual Flower Mound Smoke Fest Competition and Fundraiser, held on May 15 and 16, 2021. This event is organized by the Flower Mound Summit Club, a nonprofit organization that supports youth, education, and community service. The Summit Club, established as the oldest civic group in Flower Mound, was awarded the Community Organization of the Year designation by the Town of Flower Mound in 2018. The resolution commends the efforts of the organizers and supports the celebration of local community spirit through this event.
One notable point is that the proceeds from the Smoke Fest will be directed towards funding scholarships and academic awards for local students. Additionally, the event is slated to support local community organizations, which further emphasizes the event's role in promoting educational opportunities and benefiting the wider community, reinforcing the underlying commitment to social responsibility and local upliftment.
