There is another foodie event this weekend in Old Orchard Beach, at Smokin' At The BallPark, on Saturday. The event is sanctioned by the Kansas City BBQ Society. Local favorite DennyMike's will of course be on hand. Here are a few images from last years competition in Eliot, Maine at Raitt Family Homestead.
I hope I could attend some festival like this. I love Greek foods and BBQ!
