We encourage you to consider becoming a BBQ team at our Whole Hog
BBQ & Music Festival. The North Haverhill Fairgrounds provides
a lovely, country setting for this festival. This is a family-friendly,
no-alcoholic-beverages-served event, (but we’re looking at possible
micro-brewer partnership opportunities in the future). Last year’s
transition from Bradford to this site seemed to work well and we anticipate
a bigger and better BBQ competition and festival this year. As one
of 60 sanctioned Memphis BBQ Network contests in the country, and
the only one in New England, the Whole Hog BBQ and Music Festival
should attract greater numbers of serious competitors and festival-goers
than ever before (we’ve averaged nearly 1000 attendees in the
first five years of the event). If you have been with us at other
events, we appreciate your past support and hope you will consider
participating again this year.
Please feel free to contact us with any
questions.
- The overall winner of the contest will receive
an opportunity to compete at the MBN
(Memphis BBQ Network) World Championship in Memphis in 2009.
Frank & Mary Horner are scheduled to be our MBN contest reps
again this year.
- This will be a sanctioned ribs, shoulder and whole
hog BBQ competition.
