Gober, Texas – The Gober Community Club is announcing their third annual Gober Community BBQ will be held on Sunday, June 22, 2025, from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Gober Community Center located at 4640 FM 68, Gober, TX 75443.

The annual Gober Community BBQ is a revitalization of the community BBQ of old when citizens would flock to the Gober community to enjoy food and fellowship. There will be brisket, sausage, and sides to enjoy along with homemade desserts prepared by community club members. All proceeds benefit the Gober Community Club and go towards improvement of the rural community and the community center.

Tickets are available at their website, www.gobertexas.com. Tickets are priced at $20 for presale tickets and $30 at the door. There are limited number of tickets available so be sure to get yours early! 

“I do not know whether there are any boundaries to Gober or not, but acre-wise or by the square mile it must be a pretty big place, and you must not judge the small cluster of churches, the post office, a garage, and the now closed Woodson grocery. Gober is more than that. Gober is an area, a farming area. Not only that, but it is a closely knit area of what I have heard, since boyhood, was some of the best farmland in this whole country. Black land, it is, and it hasn’t been washed to the clay like some areas not too far away which no longer grow the feed and fiber that make its people prosperous. Many of these people saw fit to move away to make their livelihood in industry and the 40-hours week. Gober people have it both ways: they grow good crops, cattle, and work in industry, too.”
