Chapter Events - Bama Bound BBQ

The Bama Bound BBQ is our annual family picnic and send-off for area students attending The University of Alabama.  We typically hold the event in July at Lacey Woods Park in Arlington.  For the past several years, Dixie Bones BBQ in Woodbridge has catered our event.

The Bama Bound BBQ is always a fun day for alumni, friends and family.  And the University always provides us with an entertaining and informative guest speaker.  Past guest speakers have included Wendell Holmes (UA Assistant Athletic Director), Guy Caldwell (nationally renowned UA Associate Professor of Biology), Chris Stewart (host of the Crimson Tide Post Game Show and radio voice of Bama Basketball) and John Cochran (ABC News White House Correspondent).  Representatives from the University as well as our regional recruiter, Elizabeth Dugas, are also on hand to answer any questions that students and parents may have about The Capstone. 

The 25th Annual Bama Bound BBQ will be held on Saturday, July 24, 2010 at 12:30pm at Lacey Woods Park in Arlington (1200 North George Mason Drive, Arlington, VA  22205; Lacey Woods is a 10-minute walk from Ballston Metro on the Orange line)

This year's guest speaker will be former Alabama football player, Baron Huber.
Baron Huber is a former Crimson Tide football player (Fullback/Tight End) and member of the 2009 BCS National Championship Team. Not only will you hear some very entertaining stories, but you'll also be able to see Baron's three national championship season rings.

Dixie Bones BBQ lunch is made possible with contributions by the University of Alabama chapters of Alpha Lambda Delta and Order of Omega.
