Weekly Sponsor: The Bakken BBQ was created in 2013 as a collaborative effort to raise money within the community. After many meetings and ideas, we decided to get the local community involved and started planning the Bakken BBQ.

The original goal for the Bakken BBQ was to bring the community together by creating a family-friendly event and raising money to help make a difference in our community.

Since it’s first year, the Bakken BBQ has not only achieved their goal annually, but, has added to the list of positive impacts in the Bakken.
