OVIEDO, Fla., Jan. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Dickey's Barbecue Pit in Oviedo will hold a "Cruise In" event on Sunday, January 30th and Sunday, February 13th, where participants in the event will receive 20% off their entire purchase.

The event will be hosted by Dickey's Owner Corey Warren and the Central Florida Cruisers.  

"We wanted to host a fun event for the community and have a place where people can come together to enjoy classic cars and great food," Warren said. "This is a great opportunity for us to invite all members of the community out for a family fun night."

The first "Cruise In" event, hosted on January 15, brought in over 86 different types of cars.

"The first event went far beyond what we had expected," he said. "We hope that this event keeps continuing to grow."

Warren said patrons can enjoy great barbecue and a variety of entertainment including a live DJ, door prizes and a raffle.

Dickey's Barbecue asks all Dickey's Owner/Operators to find ways to be good stewards in the communities in which we do business.

"Dallas has been good to us, so giving back to this community has been part of our practice since the '40s. As we expand we are moving into new communities across the country every month," Dickey's Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. CEO Roland Dickey said. "We want our Owner/Operators to take the value of community stewardship along with the barbecue to their neighbors and friends."

The first Dickey's Barbecue opened in 1941 in Dallas, TX.

The original location is still open for business and Dickey's Barbecue is still owned and operated by the Dickey Family.

Dickey's only began franchising in 1994, now there are 139 locations in 33 states.

Even today, Dickey's still slow smokes all of their signature meats overnight in every restaurant.
