Leonardtown, MD — Crowds flocked to the St. Mary’s County Fairgrounds over the weekend for the three-day, Second annual Southern Maryland Brew & BBQ Music Festival. As the name suggests the big draws were beer, barbecue and music, although there were a number of other events and vendors to keep everyone occupied.

Music was provided Friday by Shane Gamble, Great Train Robbery and Drivin’ Muzzy. On Saturday the performers were Tracy Allen, Back by Sunrise, No Green JellyBeenz, Surreal and Kix. On Sunday Diojee, Robbie Boothe and Come Back Iris performed.

On Saturday the Kansas City Barbecue Society (KCBS)-sanctioned events included pro and People Choice judging. On Sunday the kid’s cook-off and backyard amateur judging were followed by the awards presentation.

Attendees could participate in the People’s Choice judging by purchasing a $10 ticket that allowed them to sample the pro competitor’s faire and then vote their favorite.

Saturday’s highlights included a demonstration by GXW Live Pro Wrestling and a corn hole tournament. On Sunday, highlights included a firefighter skills challenge and raffle drawings.

The food court featured 19 vendors with not only barbecue but everything else imaginable. There were also 17 indoor vendors and 24 outdoor vendors.

The event was put on by Full Effect Entertainment Group.
