Thursday, the heat was no match for Cowboys fans in East Texas.
A big crowd turned out Thursday July 20 for a community BBQ thanks to their hometown legend Dez Bryant.
Word of the picnic at Kit McConnico park spread like wildfire, after he posted the invite on social media just the day before.
Pinkerton’s BBQ owner Grant Pinkerton said when he got the call from Bryant, it was unlike any call before.
"It was pretty unprecedented,” Pinkerton said. “In my time I've never heard of it. We have some pretty high profile clients in Houston but no one calls and says they want every piece of meat for a party tomorrow.
