3rd Annual Smoke on the Water BBQ and Bluegrass Festival – Thomaston, GA

April 15, 2010

in BBQ Competitions,News

3rd Annual Smoke on the Water BBQ and Bluegrass Festival - Thomaston, GA Smoke on the Water came about early spring of 2007, when a group of long time buddies decided that the Thomaston-Upson community needed something to get involved in. Three months later, they were planning what would be the largest BBQ event that Thomaston had ever seen.

With the help of the Florida Bar-B-Que Association, the gracious sponsors within the community and the support from friends and family, the 2008 Smoke on the Water became, what they hope will be, an annual fundraiser for the Local Volunteer Fire Departments and the Harbor House which temporarily houses children who have been removed from their home.

2010 marks the 3rd annual 3rd Annual Smoke on the Water BBQ and Bluegrass Festival, which is both a Jack Daniel's and American Royal qualifier, and is taking place on April 2nd and 3rd.

There will be $10,000 in cash prizes at the event, with the Professional Division awards broken down as follows;

FBA Grand Champion - $2000

FBA Reserve Champion - $1500

There will be a daily entry feeÂ of $2 per person which will be collected at the gates where all paying visitors will receive a hand stamp allowing re-entry on that day only.

There will be plenty of entertainment in the carnival, and carnival armbands will be on sale for $15, which can be used from 1pm until 7pm, with armband sales being closed at 6pm. The armbands provide unlimited use of the rides on Saturday only.

"BBQ Alley" will please BBQ food fans, as they will be able to sample cook team competitors award winning recipes on SATURDAY only. To take part and try the wide range of delicious BBQ on offer, visitors will need to purchase â€œPig Bucksâ€ at the two stations in the cook team area.
