What a spook-tacular success this year's BBQ, Blues, and Boos Festival turned out to be! 🎃
We are grateful for each person that attended the BBQ, Blues, and Boos festival this year. We had 757 attendees over the two day festival, with 10% of attendees traveling from 30 miles or more to visit with us. The festival raised $24,730 that went back into the local economy, $12,500 to SC Based Musicians, $8,500 to SC Culinary Artist and BBQ Cook Teams, and $11,456 raised for our work at the Southern Palmetto Chamber & Foundation to support local entrepreneurship! We’re grateful for the opportunity to support the important work happening in Barnwell and throughout South Carolina.
A HUGE and warm thank you to SRP Federal Credit Union, for sponsoring and supporting this event each year!
We would also like to thank all of our additional sponsors, the 14 competitive teams and the 3 local teams that had the whole atmosphere smelling amazing, the 7 bands that brought the heat to the stage, and YOU for coming out! Each of you make this event special each year.
