Lake Barkley BBQ on Barkley
Barkley BBQ started two years ago right on beautiful Lake Barkley. Once a year at the second to last weekend in August, the 20th and 21st, cooks from all over come to show their expertise at grilling and barbequeing up pork and chicken. Barbeque pits are renouned around the area for having great competition between competitors that think they are the best cooks when it comes to preparing barbeque. This special occasion brings the community to come together to eat and have a good time. Even the 2010 Miss Kentucky comes to visit this event on Saturday the 21st at noon to show her commitment to the occasion, and so she can come get some great tasting barbeque. Everyone comes to enjoy the best tasting barbeque around, the lively music and entertainment, beautiful handmade crafts, lots of mouthwatering food and an unbeleiveable Kid's Zone fun area.....all with the scenic and beautiful Lake Barkley in the background at Kuttuwa Beach, Kuttawa, KY.
Barkley BBQ starts off the weekend on Friday, the 20th at 4 p.m. with all vendors and the Kid's Zone opening to the community, where they can get their enjoyment filled along with their stomachs. Also, the kids get some fun of their on as they bounce around on the bungee jump, mechanical bull, and the other inflatables at the Kid's Zone. There will also be a free concert by "Ashlee Collins" being held from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Then starting at 6 p.m. there will be another free concert by "Miranda Barnett" until 9 p.m. That won't be the end of the day until 10 p.m. when the park closes, because from 9 to 10 you will be able to hit up the vendors some more for a late night snack, or let the kids get some last fun in before the night is over. Everyone will need to get some rest, because Saturday is a new day full of new events lasting all day.
Saturday, August 21st, the vendors will re-open along with the Kid's Zone for all day enjoyment and eatery at 8 a.m. Now lets not forget about that great tasting Barbeque, because it will be prepared all day for the people to see which one they like best. At 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. the actual judging of the Pro KCBS will be there to see which one truly gets the honor of winning the best barbeque award. Everyone will be able to get their fill in especially at noon when Miss Kentucky 2010 will be arriving to get her fill.Once that is done it will be followed by a free concert performance by "Tony Logue Band" from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. After that the BBQ Award Ceremony will be held hosted by "Bear on the Air" and Miss Kentucky 2010 to announce the official results of the best BBQ Award. After that the community will end the night from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. with a free concert by " Rhett Akins."
