Boone Hall Plantation's
Piggly Wiggly
Barbecue Championship and Bluegrass Festival
Sunday, September
5
Summertime in Charleston is the perfect season for a bar-b-que and bluegrass
festival. At Boone Hall
Plantation, this September event will be the 4th annual 2010 Southern National
Barbecue Championship Boone Hall Plantation Bluegrass and BBQ Festival.
Not a bad way to end Labor Day weekend in Charleston!
Everybody knows how
serious bbq can be, this event will prove just that. There will be three
categories for this years BBQ special event in Charleston.
The first category is
The Professional which abides by the rules and regulations of the Kansas
City Barbecue Association and is strictly for the skilled bar-b-que artist.
The second category is The Amateur which lets anybody who likes to bar-b-que
show off their skills. This can be just a group of friends or it can also
be sponsored by a place of work.
The third category is
Tailgating which involves avid sports fans decorating their specific
area along with a featured dish. Judges for this category will consist of
the public voting on the best set up and selected judges will vote on the
selected dish.
The barbeque experts will be traveling form all over the US to compete for
cash and prizes. This will be judged by the Kansas City Barbeque
Society...the real deal. Live Bluegrass will be performed by The Nitty
Gritty Dirt Band and The Dillards.
The festivities will
begin at 11AM when the gates open with plenty of bluegrass and
savory bbq all day until 8:30PM. A beer truck, or two, on the
Boone Hall Plantation premises, will help quench your thirst during the
heavy eating and dancing!
Tickets for 2010 Boone
Hall Bluegrass and BBQ Festival are $20 for adults and $8 for kids.
This is a family bbq festival in Charleston. Unique to this years
event, there will be a Celebrity Dunking Booth. They also brought back
Mechanical Bull Riding Contest due to it's popularity at last year's event.
