KCBS State certified competition is a pathway to national
success for BBQ contenders
Bluemont, VA – The 3rd annual Bluemont
BBQ Bash and Blackberry Bonanza hosted by Great Country Farms on July 26-28
has quickly become a key step toward national prominence for BBQ enthusiasts
and their fans. This official KCBS
(Kansas City
Barbecue Society) State Certified BBQ Competition is one of only a few Virginia events where
competitors can qualify for the top national contests.
Friends and fans can purchase tokens to
preside at the People’s Choice Tasters Competition which donates the proceeds to
the newly opened Boulder Crest
Retreat for Wounded Warriors. Up and coming Pit Masters can learn the ropes
of competing KCBS Style on Sunday, July 28 at the Backyard BBQ Competition. New
competitor Kenny Jenkins notes, “This event attracts some of the top contenders
in the US but everyone is extremely welcoming to newcomers. The judges and
contenders share their experience and the Farm provides a beautiful setting and
fun for the kids.”
