The 54th annual BC BBQ was held Sept. 11 at Stramler Park. For $20, guests enjoyed a steak or chicken dinner including salad, chili beans and a bread roll.
Entertainment from the Tony Ernst Band had BC athletes, professors, and alumni dancing the night away with classic songs like The Village People’s “YMCA.”
Athletic Director Jan Stuebbe was amazed at the night’s turnout.
“This was outstanding,” he said. “We have the best community support of community colleges in the nation. It makes BC special.”
The Bakersfield community includes sponsors, parents, and alumni of BC who came out to watch a performance from the BC Cheer Team and introductions of all the fall athletes.
Sally Hill, BBQ Chairperson and professor of psychology, said they served over 900 meals.
“I think we had more people this year. All the chicken is gone!”
The dinner was cooked and served by BC culinary students and teachers.
Stuebbe and Hill agree that BC has a committed and loyal community. Stuebbe added, “I never grow tired of it.”
