Did you circle Friday, July 4th on your calendar with a big red marker and can’t remember why? Here’s your delicious reminder: it’s time for the New Bern Civitan Club’s 4th of July BBQ Rib Sale! Deadline is July 1 at 5 PM to place your order.
If you’ve ever had our ribs, you already know they don’t stick around long. Thanks to the incredible support from the community — and our members, their families, neighbors, and friends — this fundraising event is always a finger-lickin’ success. A big shout-out goes to Chairperson Randy King, who keeps everything running smoother than a perfectly glazed rack of ribs.
This year, we moved our sale from Memorial Day to the 4th of July, and the grills will be sizzling! Here’s what you need to know:
What’s cookin’?
Mouthwatering, slow-cooked ribs – full rack for just $25.
Choose ’em plain or slathered with Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce.
How to order?
Order by 5 PM, Tuesday, July 1, and indicate if you want with or without BBQ sauce.
Send an email to CivitanRibs@gmail.com to reserve your racks of ribs.
When to pick up?
Friday, July 4th between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m.
Our tent at Piggly Wiggly parking lot drive-thru lane, 1208 Simmons St.
But wait! This isn’t just about great ribs. Every bite you take helps support local programs and causes — 100% of proceeds stay right here in the community. Our club is dedicated to helping the less fortunate, with a primary focus on intellectual and developmental disabilities.
A big thank-you to Danny Creel of Piggly Wiggly, New Bern, for firing up the grill and rallying behind this fundraiser.
So, grab your calendar, double-circle that date, and place your order today — because these ribs go fast and always sell out!
