Come join us at the North Haverhill Fairground, North Haverhill, New
Hampshire. Our grand champion BBQ team will get a slot at next year’s
MBN championship cookoff. We expect some serious competition
among barbecue enthusiasts hoping to win this spot. The North Haverhill Fairgrounds
provides a lovely, country setting for this festival. This is a family-friendly
event. As one of 60 sanctioned Memphis BBQ Network contests in the
country, and the only one in New England, the Whole Hog BBQ and Music
Festival should attract greater numbers of serious competitors and
festival-goers than ever before (we’ve averaged nearly 1000
attendees in each year of the event). If you have been with us at
other events, we appreciate your past support and hope you will consider
participating again this year.
Congratulations to Jack's Old South, our 2009 Grand Champion! Since they have already qualified, our reserve champion, Bare Bones BBQ, also qualified for the MBN championship cookoff (where they took first last year in the poultry division). Note that another competitor, Pig Pen BBQ from New Jersey, is also competing in the MBN Championship.
Please feel free to contact us with any
questions.
