Thanks to all who came out for Pickin’ in the Panhandle 2011!
Congratulations to Chix, Swine & Bovine, our 2011 KCBS WV State BBQ Grand Champion! Just Smokin’ Around was named the Reserve Grand Champion and Squirrelly Kids BBQ was our Backyard BBQ Grand Champion! Thanks to all the teams who participated and helped make this an event to remember.
Pickin’ in the Panhandle celebrates the best of barbecue, bluegrass/roots music, and family fun. Located just over an hour from Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD, the Lazy A Campground in Back Creek Valley (just 8 miles off Interstate 81) will be filled with the sounds of bluegrass, newgrass and other roots music … mixed with the smell of mouth-watering BBQ. Do a little pickin’ of your own, or just sit back and enjoy some of the best musical acts from our region and beyond! Mark your calendar for Pickin’ 2012, September 7-9!
