The 2024 Peanut Buttler Bowl will feature the Lytle Pirates vs Llano Yellow Jackets on Friday, August 30, 2024 with kickoff at 7:00pm at Walter Joyce Stadium (Lytle, Texas).
It’s time to gather up those peanut butter jars and bring them in! You also have the opportunity to donate $2 online for each jar.
Last year we reached 800 jars of PB, and this year, I am challenging our community to hit the 1,000 mark to exceed our number from last year! Bring your best!
