A DAY AT THE FARM



What do llamas and bluegrass have in common with barbecue sauce? All three were the highlights of the Day at the Farm Barbecue and Bluegrass Jamboree on Saturday in Kittrell, NC. The 4th annual event was the year's main fundraiser for the Diabetes Bus Initiative, a diabetes education program. 

The farm was filled with good old-fashion family entertainment: bluegrass bands, cloggers, and corn-hole. Auctions were scattered about, along with crafts, hayrides, and a diabetes fair.     

But the real reason to attend was the barbecue. Vendor, Tom Price, sold terrific pork sandwiches out of his Grill-Zilla, a massive grill, smoker and rotisserie, which is still cooking after being damaged in a tornado on April 16th. The afternoon delight was the People's Choice BBQ Sauce Contest. Patrons voted on there favorite hot sauce, Momma G's, and there favorite mild sauce, Bart's Old North State. 

If barbecue or music wasn't your thing, you could always have relaxed under a shady tree, ate a pickle or pet a llama. Set your calender for the same weekend next year.
