For fifteen years, the Ledna Family has been inviting folks each summer to celebrate friendship and community together with a BBQ, picnic, or other similar meal! Started in 2011, the same year Timothy adopted Willie and Justin, the family BBQ has at times been formally called "The Ledna Family BBQ" and other times more casually celebrated as just a get together with Timothy, Justin, Willie, and / or Alex and others. 2025 marks the 1st BBQ to be held in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
