Participants might want to think about skipping breakfast. A multitude of barbecue options will be available, from classic ribs and pulled pork to beef brisket to chicken and sausages. A gaming area, featuring outdoor favorites like corn hole, beckons participants to work off some of those calories, while live music provides a vivid backdrop to the fun.
The event offers two different points of entry: The VIP Bacon and Whole Hog package, which runs from noon to 6 p.m.; and general admission, which begins two hours later.
