The City of Anderson and Anderson County will host a Law Enforcement Appreciate BBQ Saturday at the Civic Center from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. 

Tickets for the event, with BBQ provided by Creekside BBQ, are available here, and 100 percent of the sales will go directly to the foundations for the officers of the Anderson City Police Department and the Anderson County Sheriff's Department. 

"We are looking forward to a great event, supporting a great cause," said Anderson City Councilman Kyle Newton. "Our local law enforcement go above and beyond the call of duty each and every day, and we are excited to show our appreciation for them and all that they do for the community. Being able to partner with my counterpart on county council to show how government works best when they work together is an added benefit, and I appreciate the great relationship that our city currently has with Anderson County."

“I’m just excited to be a part of an event that not only brings the city and county together, but honors the men and women of law enforcement that so selflessly serve our community day in and day out," said Anderson County Councilman John Wright Jr. "It’s truly an honor to be able to give back just a small fraction of what they give to us each and every day and it’s a great opportunity to recognize them for their service and thank them for what they do.”
