On Thursday, at 11:00 a.m., the new Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Fayetteville will give the first 50 guests a gift card for up to $50.  On Friday, radio personality Big Dan Hentschel from 94.3/Country will be on-site from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m and this location will be serving $2 pulled pork barbecue sandwiches.  During the event Mr. Dickey will be signing and giving away 100 free copies of his new cookbook.   Saturday, the party continues with Dickey’s Barbecue Pit merchandise giveaways.
