One of my favorite festivals of the year is the Bloomin' Barbeque and Bluegrass Festival in Sevierville.
This year's festival takes place May 17 & 18 and I can't wait. What can be better in Tennessee than Barbeque and Bluegrass and better yet ...it is free. Not the barbeque of course, but hungry visitors can choose from several 'que vendors, all displaying trophy's from past competitions at a reasonable price, stake out a spot in front of one of the bandstands and enjoy life. Friday night along with BBQ & music there is a kids burger cook off for those 6-16 years old. The following day 46 World Class Barbeque Cook-Off Teams compete in the Kansas City Royal BBQ Society Sanctioned Event to claim the trophy, $$$ prize and bragging rights for the year. What makes this event different from any other BBQ Cook-Off is it includes the Mountain Soul Competition. Sevierville is home to Dolly Parton and the Competition gives a chance for singers a chance to showcase their talent by singing one of the 3,000 songs written by Ms. Parton. Thirty finalist get a chance to preform and a winner is chosen from the
kids division ( under 12 ) and the adult ( 12 + ) group. The winner receives a cash prize, a recording session in Nashville and a guitar autographed by Dolly. For more information about the Festival go to ; http://www.bloominbbq.com
