My husband's company, instead of the traditional annual summer picnic, had a company rodeo & BBQ. The "Rodeo" was actually a live exhibition/demonstration/sampling of rodeo activities/events. It was entertaining, and we were comfortable enough in the low stadium seats, shaded from the hot sun. The BBQ buffet was excellent, maybe the best I've ever experienced. The ingredients seemed fresh and high quality, and the side dishes were prepared with skill and in the healthier side, e.g. a good assortment of roasted vegetables, and side salads that did not have gobs of mayonnaise/salt/fat. The delicious garlic bread was made on Dutch crunch bread, which was a great variation on the French bread or sourdough. The tri tip and chicken were expertly barbecued and perfectly seasoned. We had a live country band, and line dance instructors which were a lot of fun. The only negative thing about the dancing is the dance floor was right in front of the stage exposed to the full sun. It was quite bright and hot. My husband and I ended up dancing in a shady corner away from the actual dance floor. A covered dance floor and more trees would be nice. The port-a-potties were decent, but I always prefer a real restroom with running water, soap, etc. More shade, in general (people were vying for picnic table seats in he shade; there weren't enough umbrellas for how many tables there were) and especially for the dance floor, and nicer restroom facilities would change my rating from 4-star to 5-star.
