Boston butts must be pre-ordered before the event. The cost is $25, which can be paid at pick-up, and orders can be placed by calling 334-289-4876. Orders must be picked up between 9 and 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 5.

Barbecue by the pound will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis as well. The cost is $8 per pound. Barbecue can be purchased from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., unless all barbecue is sold before 1 p.m. The department will also offer homemade baked goods for sale at the barbecue. A variety of cakes and other delicious treats will be available.
