BACKYARD BBQ NOVICES AND COMPETITION PROS PREPARE FOR A BBQ BATTLE ON THE FLATHEAD

Smokin' on the River BBQ Battle 2017 is coming to Polson Montana!

On Saturday, July 29th, the air will be thick with anticipation, as the Polson Fairgrounds, Inc. hosts a bbq battle on the banks of the Flathead River. Beginning at 10:00 a.m., the public is invited to cheer on excited bbq contestants as they show off their carnivorous basting and cooking techniques, as they vie for the bragging rights of Grand Champion, while the rest of us enjoy great BBQ pleasures of the palate.

Smokin' on the River BBQ Battle 2017 is a contest designed for backyard and professional cookers to show how they've mastered their skill. Crunch time begins at 2:00 p.m. when each team begins to submit their entries, each at thirty-minute intervals, with categories including sauce, chicken, beef, pork, and open. Each entry is blind-judged, by a sequestered panel, including members of the local media, local dignitaries, and BBQ experts, based on taste, appearance, tenderness, and creativity. Awards will be given to first and second place entries.

The battle will take place adjacent to the new Regatta Shoreline Amphitheater, located on the Polson Fairgrounds, along the banks of the Flathead River. Admission and parking are free, so bring your blankets and lawn chairs, watch the contestants at work, shop local vendor booths, and enjoy music from Polson's own DJ, Thunder Skye. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. Coolers and pets are not allowed.

Grilling novices to bbq wizards, youth and seasoned, are encouraged to enter the battle! Draw your BBQ weapon of choice and become the battle's Grand Champion!

The battle would also like to extend an invitation to all interested vendors, food and artisan.

Dry camping-style RV spaces are available for contestants and vendors.
