Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q (SCNB) has announced the return of its annual football season promotion “It’s Just Not a Tailgate”–an annual campaign the brand promotes each fall celebrating one of the finest traditions in the South: the football game day tailgate.

Longtime fans of Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q know that “it’s just not a tailgate without the Bar-B-Q” and the company wants to reward fans for sharing their game day traditions that include Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q menu favorites.

Fans who snap a “bar-pic-q” at their football tailgate huddling up with the Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q Tailgate Special and email it to comments@SCNBNC.com will score a complimentary $5 gift certificate (redeemable at all Smithfield’s locations) and a pair of S.C.N.B. Croakies.

For tailgaters with even more enthusiasm for barbecue, Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q wants you to film your tailgate and prove why your tailgate should be named the standard against which all future tailgates will be judged.
