Venues & Event Locations
Out at Buser Family Park, where the Saturday crowd spills across the grass and kids outnumber the adults two to one, a BBQ truck pulling up changes the whole energy of the afternoon. Warner Memorial Park offers a different kind of backdrop — the river, the trees, and enough open space that the smell of smoked brisket carries in every direction. And when a client books the Shamrock Indoor Practice Facility for a larger corporate or athletic event, Colorado Pig Rig has the capacity and the setup to fill a room that size.
Kansas has health reciprocity — a food-truck health permit or inspection issued by any Kansas jurisdiction is accepted statewide. Fire permits are issued locally.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the City of Manhattan.
Colorado Pig Rig and our local partners carry current health, fire, and business licensing. We're glad to share our documentation with your venue or organizer on request.

David
Senior Booking Agent
Owner-operator experience across 11 trucks, 10 concepts, and real booking operations.
Thirty straight days of feeding Chevron crews 1,500 meals a day, plus a Covid-era stretch running FedEx menus at roughly 1,200 meals a weekend, is the kind of pressure that shapes how David books smoky BBQ for hungry crowds. That background carries into service-capacity forecasting, backup planning, and the on-the-fly call to shift from truck to buffet when equipment fails mid-event — the practical thinking behind BBQ service built for real events. He also helped push through Colorado's statewide health and fire reciprocity bill, making it simpler to plan hearty BBQ service across jurisdictions instead of navigating a patchwork of local rules.
- Owned and operated 11 food trucks across 10 concepts

David will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
