BBQ enthusiasts, get ready to sample some delicious barbecue at the Bluemont BBQ Bash and Blackberry Bonanza at Great Country Farms this weekend.
The BBQ Bash is only one of a few Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) certified events in Virginia where competitors can qualify for national competitions. Competitors include 3 Eyez BBQ, BBQ Nuts of Fairfax, and Jokers and Smokers BBQ, among others. The competition takes place Saturday.
Guests will have the opportunity to meet the competitors Friday as they arrive with their big rigs and smokers. Then they head up to Bluemont Vineyard for live music, wine tastings, and dinner with the cooks for their “Last Friday” event.
The Blackberry Bonanza Dessert Competition on Saturday is judged by the VIPs and is the perfect sweet finish to the day. Competitors include BBQ teams, local bakers and people who just love to cook, who will use Great Country Farms’ fresh blackberries in decadent creations to win the sweetest dish, according to the festival website.
The BBQ Bash and Blackberry Bonanza will take place from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday. Admission costs $10 for children & $12 for adults each day. For more info, visit the Bluemont BBQ Bash and Blackberry Bonanza website.
