Traveling Road Show

     It was very interesting to walk through Hog Heaven at the Blue Ridge BBQ & Music Festival.  Those competing for awards were hard at work preparing their entries.  But they weren't too busy to chat and talk about their motivation to travel hundreds, sometimes thousands, of miles and spend sleepless hours cooking low and slow.

     And the way they got there was as varied as each of their secret recipes.  Some arrived in nothing more than a pick up truck with a trailer hitch while others traveled in style in huge motor homes tricked out with smokers on wheels and fully equipped kitchens.

     Here are a few photos that I took as I made my way through Hog Heaven:
