DYESS AIR FORCE BASE, Texas --  The Abilene Chamber of Commerce Military Affairs Committee is scheduled to host the 44th annual Armed Forces Barbecue at the Abilene Civic Center April 18.

The dinner, commonly known as the "World's Largest Barbecue," will have serving times from noon to 2 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m.

The free dinner is open to all servicemembers currently serving in the military and their families. Spouses of deployed military members are also welcome, as are members of the National Guard, Reserves, and Department of Defense civilian employees.

Tickets for the barbecue are now available from unit first sergeants, but are not required for the event. The free tickets are used merely to help advertise the dinner and as a personal reminder. Military identification cards, however, are required and will be checked at the door.
