No parking issues, no high priced food just good old fashioned down home fun for a buck ($1) a tasting ticket with most vendors selling samples for between 2-4 tickets for a nice helping of BBQ Brisket, BBQ Ribs, BBQ Pulled Pork, or some more exotic offerings like shrimp on the BBQ or a deep fried Snickers bar. It's your choice.
 
Admission is FREE! But the tickets for everything must be purchased with cash. There will be an ATM on premises or stop on your way.
 
There is the OFFICIAL BBQ judging but the best part for our crew is the unofficial PEOPLES CHOICE AWARD. The hungry BBQ enthusiasts that attend get to vote on their favorite tasty meat.
