United Cerebral Palsy’s 10th Annual BBQ Championship & Hog Wild Festival will be held on March 11th & 12th – at the Greater Gulf State Fairgrounds – over 120 professional and amateur teams will be on hand to display their skill at the grill. There will also be a fun kid’s zone, nationally sanctioned NBHA Barrel Horse Racing, live music, arts & crafts, and much more. You don’t want to miss it!
Back by popular demand, the People’s Choice contest will give you a chance to sample barbeque from backyard & semi pro teams on Saturday from 11am-2pm…or until the barbeque runs out!
