BBQ Festivals anyone?

Who doesn’t enjoy the sizzle of the BBQ grill – the savor of mouth watering smells and sights of smoking meats? It’s the time of year when crowds gather around the BBQ pits at many of the country’s BBQ festivals. These festivals are ideal entertainment for the whole family. Besides the main attraction — delicious BBQ — these festivals feature a variety of amusements (musical entertainment, off-beat competitions, arts and crafts, car shows, children’s activities, and much more).

According to the friendly folks at the Kansas City Barbeque Society, one of the largest events, The American Royal, takes place in Kansas City each October – so there’s plenty of time to plan and point your RV in that direction.
