Food and drinks will be available; there will be inflatables, games and live music.
The fee for entering the Professional Division for the barbecue contest is $150 and that includes two free Boston butts to cook. There’s a $25 entry fee for the Backyard Division, and those contestants bring their own meat to cook.
Judging for the contest is at 4:30 p.m., with plaques awarded to first and second places.
