Pop’s BBQ Pit at Calico Fort Arts & Craft Show | April 11–12

We’re Heading to Calico Fort — Come Find Us April 11 & 12!

 

Big news from the Pop’s BBQ Pit family — we’re packing up the truck, loading the booth, and heading to the Calico Fort Arts & Craft Show i Fort Deposit, AL on April 11 & 12! If you’ve been wanting to taste our products before you buy, or you’ve been a longtime fan looking to stock up in person, this is your weekend.

We love getting out into the community and meeting the folks who make this brand mean something. Calico Fort is one of our favorite shows, and we can’t wait to be back.

 

What We’re Bringing

We’re loading up the full Pop’s BBQ Pit lineup — everything from our flagship sauces to Granny’s Classic favorites. Here’s a look at what you’ll find at our booth:

  • Signature Series BBQ Sauces — Our hand-crafted, small-batch sauces that started it all. Rich, bold, and built for the grill.
  • Pop’s Hot Honey Rub — The perfect balance of sweet heat. Festival-proven and founder-perfected. Great on everything from chicken wings to venison.
  • Seasonings & Rubs — Versatile blends crafted for backyard BBQ, wild game, and everything in between.
  • Granny’s Classic Collection — Old-fashioned goodness straight from Granny’s kitchen, including her famous Apple Butter. These go fast, so don’t sleep on it.

 

The Story Behind the Booth

Pop’s BBQ Pit isn’t just a product — it’s a family. Pop perfected these recipes over decades of backyard cooking, and Granny brought her legendary kitchen skills to the table with her jams, jellies, and preserves. Every jar, every bottle, every seasoning blend we sell carries a little piece of that story.

When you shop with us at a show like Calico Fort, you’re not buying off a shelf — you’re buying directly from the people who made it. You might just find Pop himself behind the booth, ready to talk BBQ, share a sample, and help you find the perfect flavor for whatever you’re cooking.

 

Tips for Visiting Our Booth

  • Ask for samples! We love letting the product speak for itself.
  • Come early for the best selection — Granny’s collection tends to sell out.
  • Bring a friend — bundle deals and gift sets make great gifts.
  • Tell us what you’re cooking — we love matching the right product to the right meal.
