Dez Bryant is throwing a party in his hometown of Lufkin, Texas, on Thursday and everyone's invited.

The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver announced Wednesday on his Facebook page that he'd dropped $16,000 on food and drinks at Pinkerton's Barbecue and wants to round up some teams for a game of kickball.

"Trying to have fun before I head back to camp," he wrote. "EVERYONE free to join."

The owner of Pinkerton's, Grant Pinkerton, told Vicky Camarillo of the Lufkin News they'll be serving up 230 pounds of brisket, 200 pounds of pork ribs, 100 pounds of sausage, 80 pounds of beef ribs, and 120 pounds of potato salad, along with pulled pork, beans, cole slaw, and cobblers.

The party will be held at Kit McConnico Park from noon to 8 p.m. CT.
