You’ll hear the best in blues, drink the best of brews and pig out on the best BBQs from award winning vendors all over the United States. BBQ in all varieties, corn on the cob, funnel cakes, desserts, lemon shake-ups, pineapple whip, fried veggies, curly ‘taters, everything you could hope for, washed down with ice-cold pop or beer. Everyone is on best behaviour. Bring the whole family. Playground for the kiddies. Sixteen different BLUES bands you would have to pay a fortune to hear anywhere else. This is a good fundraiser for some Fort Wayne schools, so come on out and enjoy yourself in the Three Rivers city, Fort Wayne Indiana! June 19 – 22, Thursday through Sunday. Come and gnaw with us! Ages are checked, and everyone drinks responsibly. Yes, they do.
