DENVER — Knights of Columbus Council 10389 of Holy Spirit Church recently raised more than $6,000 at its fourth annual “Holy Smoke BBQ and Music Festival” in support of special education, the Special Olympics, Holy Angels and similar causes through the L.A.M.B. Foundation of North Carolina.
More than 500 meals were served and Denver once again rocked to the great music of four bands, ranging from bluegrass and gospel to oldies rock and eclectic country rock.
The barbecue was prepared by award-winning Knights Carl Dent, Eric Ralph and Mike Karn, who smoked the pork and chicken on site.
