Good Morning BBQ Fans

Hello everyone... hope each of you had a great weekend and cooked some great barbecue. Here are a few updates to BBQ-Festivals.com.

The first comes from Smokin' Willies BBQ Sauce, Marinades and Rubs. Looks like these guys have won a couple of Scovies for there rubs and sauces. Be sure to check out their site and you can order thier products online.

Joi sends us some updates on two bbq festivals that we had missed. Both of them are in September so luckily we haven't missed them. Thanks for the info Joi...

The Maggie Valley 4th Annual Western North Carolina BBQ Festival will be held on Sept 28-29 in beautiful Maggie Valley N.C.

In Henderson Tennessee we have the Chester County BBQ Festival on September 27-29

I took a look at MapQuest and it says it is 419 miles from Henderson to Maggie Valley and approx 6 hours driving time. You could hit the Henderson BBQ Festival on the 27th and travel on the 28th and go to the Maggie Valley BBQ Festival on the 29th. Now that is what I call a BBQ weekend.

Teams, Cookoffs and Sauces

Hello everyone...hope your Spring is going well. We have had several updates over the past couple of days at BBQ-Festivals.com

A new festival in New York has been listed. the Hudson Valley Rib Fest in New Paltz will take place in August from the 17th through the 19th.

Two new BBQ Teams have joined us from Arizona and Oklahoma. From Marietta Oklahoma we have LottaBullBBQ and they look like the mean business....... Out of Arizona come the Smokin' Wildcats of AZBarbecue.com

BBQ is truly an all American phenomenon that people from every part of the country enjoy. BBQ fans in Chicago can check out the Sauce King of Chicago for some great sounding sauce... and be sure to check out their recipes page..... looks like some great bbq treats to be made.

We received a press release from the WICOMICO RECREATION, PARKS & TOURISM in Salisbury MD about the recent Pork in the Park event that was held last month. You can read about all the winners in the different cook-off categories here. It looks like they had an awesome time and some super BBQ.

We have started posting the BBQ Festivals on the opening page of our site for each month. I will be going to the International BBQ Festival in Owensboro KY on May 12th. Are any of you all going to be there? If so let me know in advance and maybe we can meet up for a little while.

Well that is about it for today......... keep on makin' that great Q........

Happy May 1st - BBQ Season Is Here

Hello everyone........ Happy May 1st. BBQ season is here and in full swing. Be sure to let us know if we have missed listing any bbq festivals.

We have three new additions to our restaurant listings. Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas

In the Dayton Ohio area we have Rolling Smoke BBQ - It looks like Rolling Smoke is primarily a bbq caterer and what they have sure does look good.

From Ponca City Oklahoma we have Head Country Barbeuce joing us. Not only can you sit down and have great bbq at the restaurant, you can order their products online and they also cater.

And finally from Dallas Texas we have Mike Andersons BBQ. They have a full service restaurant, online store and do catering as well.
