If you don't mind winning a guitar. |
It's been a great event for this community. |
Nobody is going to go hungry if they want barbecue, though. We've lined up a good group of vendors who'll have plenty of barbecue for sale. |
Once the meat is through inspection, they can start cooking, and I suspect some of them will be cooking all night. |
The guy who won the Pearl Drums drum-off was a 15-year-old kid from right here in this neighborhood. And that was some serious competition, too. |
We had to cancel the cooking contest because several of the teams were from Mississippi and had family complications because of Hurricane Katrina. Another had a death in the family. There were just too many complications, but we'll give that part of the event an honest shot next year. |
We're going to get it set up for next year so we not only have blues, but we also have a barbecue competition. All in all, for a first-time event, it was a success. |
