National Barbecue Month is a USDA approved event that celebrates the upcoming summer and the start of the grilling season. The unofficial holiday celebrates outdoor cooking and promotes it as enjoying great tasting food that's easy and affordable. A National Barbecue Month Poll through the HPBA (Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association) found that seventy-one percent of Americans prefer cooking out over eating out to save money, and sixty-four percent of adults agree that a barbecue is a better way to spend quality-time with their friends or relatives. More than a third (36%) of adults associate barbecues with family tradition.

Grill & Hearth's National Barbecue Month celebration cookout for customers and friends will be held May 20^th at their location in Palm Coast at 4982 Palm Coast Pkwy from 11:30am to 1:00pm. There will be giveaways and a complimentary lunch as well as demonstrations of their grills and grilling accessories.  Napoleon (Fireplaces, Grills, Heating & Cooling) and Weber Grills will be participating vendors.
