Recruiters from the U.S. Border Patrol and Office of Field Operations will also be on-site displaying various assets within their department, including a horse, bike and boat patrol, as well as the K9 Unit.

Tasty barbecue plates will be $7 each and will include the choice of a smoked brisket or pork sandwich with chips and a drink.

All proceeds benefit Building Homes for Heroes, a nonprofit that provides mortgage-free homes to severely injured military members.
