BBQ Boogie & Blues

1st Annual ''BBQ Boogie & Blues''!! The 2012 Chamber CVB Committee is planning a new Gordon County tradition with the ''BBQ Boogie & Blues''. The Kansas City BBQ Society (KCBS) has sanctioned this event and Governor Nathan Deal has declared it a state barbecue competition. The event will be held over a two day period and will replace the annual ''More than a Taste of Calhoun''. On Friday evening, April 27, beginning at 6:30 p.m., as the barbecue contestants are preparing their barbecue, there will be a Street Dance with live entertainment on Court Street, a Fashion Runway Event to benefit the American Cancer Society and food and drink vendors will be set up downtown until 10:30 p.m. On Saturday, April 28, at 8:30 a.m., a Bicycle Ride to Benefit the Alzheimer's Association will be held from the Depot. Throughout the day, there will be more fun with arts and craft vendors, live entertainment, kid zones, an Amazing Race, Band Concert and the results of the KCBS and Backyard BBQ contests! We believe this event will draw a great local crowd and also bring visitors into the community. This is a perfect opportunity for your company to advertise with us through sponsorship. Please contact Sue Ellen Thomas at the Chamber of Commerce for more information.
