All,
Received a mailing today for the "Louisville Firehouse Cook-off and BBQ Festival". For those of you who have been longing to sample BBQ this is your event. Here are the details as outlined in the mailing, along with a link to the website.
August 1st. 9810 Bluegrass Pkwy. A benefit for Easter Seals. Free admission. Free cookies for the kids. Live entertainment (details on the website), Raffle prizes, Food: Hot dogs, Brats, popcorn, snow cones, etc, etc (No mention of beer one way or the other for those who might care about such things), Firemen competition (bucket brigade, etc)
Best BBQ Contest (See the website for details if you want to cook either the pro or backyard division).
BBQ sampling/People's Choice voting 4pm to 6pm. (Chicken, Ribs, Pulled Pork and Wild Game)
I have NO idea who is organizing this event but it does seem like a good cause. Note: As this is not a KCBS sanctioned contest, the Rolling Bones will NOT be cooking this competition. MOF, I have NO idea who is cooking.

Hope those of you who have been longing to sample some competition BBQ finally get your wish.
