DEXTR BARBEQUE: One such event is the Dexter Annual Barbeque. A pit beef barbeque is cooked by the local “experts”. Generations have done this event & it continues to be passed on to the upcoming generations. The meal usually consists of the great barbeque meat, pot cooked & smoked baked beans, corn on the cob, a dessert and a drink. Plates may be purchased with one or two barbeque sandwiches. The prices run from $5.00 - $7.00 a plate. Proceeds go to the Dexter Civic Club. The area churches usually provide ice cream and they split those proceeds. During the day of the BBQ, many fun street games take place for kids & adults alike. An annual fun run takes place & usually adults participate in the run. Vendors line the streets. Many of these are fund-raisers for local non-profits. The high school usually sponsors a breakfast to raise proceeds for their annual Washing D.C. trip for a history class. Vendors provide cheap drinks for the day – iced tea for 50 cents – and local cafés are also open. Some vendors sell souvenirs just to exercise their entrepreneurial spirit and maybe raise money for a family vacation. The BBQ usually takes place in mid-July each year.
