BBQ Fest on the Neuse Supports LCC Scholarships
The BBQ Fest on the Neuse has continued its tradition of giving back to the community with a recent donation to the Lenoir Community College Foundation in support of student scholarships.
Festival organizers said this year’s donation was inspired by their desire to leave a lasting legacy.
“Lenoir Community College will always be here making a difference, and we wanted the festival’s impact to live on through education,” said Waylon Adams, Chairman of the BBQ Fest on the Neuse.
