Brentwood Police Assistance League (PAL)

Blues, Brews, and BBQ at the Streets of Brentwood

May 27-28, 2011

The Brentwood Police Activities League (BPAL) is a 501©(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1998 through a grant offered by the John Muir Foundation. BPAL was established to serve all children who live in or attend school in Brentwood and adjoining communities. BPAL strives to establish positive relationships between our youth, police officers, and the community of Brentwood. BPAL's goals are to provide alternatives to gangs, drugs, and other criminal activities through a vast array of programs. There was approximately $50,000 raised for the weekend between the BBQ, Car show, and vendors.  We were very proud to be a part of their success.

This was a great venue located next to a huge shopping mall.  The setting was beautiful with classic cars lining the center of the shopping mall which also include vendors and bands.  We arrived on Friday and started preparing the meat for the next day.  We entered the Farmers Choice and also dessert category for the next day.  The Farmers choice turned out to be “Asparagus”.  These are always fun categories because you can use your imagination in preparing the entry.
