OLDSMAR, Fla. — Eating guilt-free barbecue for a good cause?
Sounds like a fun weekend to us!
This Saturday, from noon to 4 p.m., the Club-214 Land & Sea BBQ Throwdown (Pop Stansell Park, 97 Florida Ave, Palm Harbor) will feature teams of local veterans showing off their grilling and smoking chops.

There will also be live music, a car show, beer trucks, a blood drive, and a lot more. Celebrity chef Cameron Capri, the talent behind Q Southern BBQ in Dunedin and Oldsmar, will be a celebrity judge.
Tasting tickets are $10, and proceeds benefit Club-214 Land & Sea, a nonprofit that supports and hosts events for local veterans.
Part of Club-214's mission? Keeping veterans from feeling isolated and alone.
"Getting veterans out and engaging is probably the most healing factor," says Paul Keyes, CEO and founder of Club-214 Land & Sea. "Keeping them together, keeping them connected — that's why we have so many events, the constant engagement."
