Where has the summer gone? The final Y101 Backyard BBQ of the summer will be held in Palmyra on Wednesday, August 26. If you live in the Palmyra area, let us know why you want to host our final BBQ of the summer!

How would you like to host a BBQ for 100 of your closest friends with Y101? Backyard BBQs are back, and once again we are letting you register to win and host the barbecue at your home or a location of your choice. The next Backyard BBQ will be in Camp Point on June 24, so get signed up to win!

It all started back in the 1990s when we kicked off the first Backyard BBQ. From then on during the summertime - through floods,heatwaves and bad roads - we would get in the Y101 van and head out with food, fun and prizes and have a great time with our listeners!

We're enjoying the summer and we hope you are, too! Y101 will be in Camp Point for our next Backyard BBQ on Thursday, July 25! We'll broadcast live from Bailey Park in Camp Point and we'll feed 101 people!

Raise your hand if you like to eat...yep, just as we thought. If you're a BBQ connoisseur (or even if you just like it), and you live in or near Canton, be sure to join us for our next Backyard BBQ, Thursday night at Martin Park!

The June 28 Y101 Back Yard BBQ winner is Kelly Smyser of Palmyra. Y101 will bring the food, the fun, and the prizes for 101 people next Thursday night.

Barbecuing during the summer's one of the best parts of the whole season. It's also something that can go horribly wrong... What the heck is that? It used to be the handle on my grill. A word of caution: if that plastic bottle of five-year-old lighter fluid looks like it might be brittle, it probably is...
