Up in Smoke Barbecue Cookoff

The fair grounds are booming with activities lately. As the fair ended Saturday, another event will be coming in this Saturday, October 6th. There will be music, fun, and a feast of meats. The 3rd annual Up in Smoke Barbecue Cookoff will be bigger than ever. There were only 28 teams last year compared to this year's 52.

Many activities have been planned including a lot of children's activities, four big screen televisions playing all college football games, a smattering of arts and crafts vendors, and live music all day long. The country duo The Wrights will perform at 3:00 p.m. Representatives from the U.S. Army will also be there with a rock wall and a Humvee. Festivities will begin at 9?00 a.m. with the awards ceremony ending the cookoff at 5:00 p.m.

Tickets are available at the gate for $5. There will also be food and drinks for sure.

Raffle tickets will be sold for $10 to win a seven day cruise with the radio personality, Moby.
