This is the 9th Annual competition, and over the past nine years the event has become quite large. Over 20,000 people attended last year's Pork and Brew. It is a sanctioned Kansas City BBQ Competition and winners will go on to compete at other levels-including the national championships. It's a foodie dream for the BBQ lover. If you like the brew, there will be popular beers and local micro-brews as well. It is a family friendly event with arts and crafts, magicians, jumps, food vendors, music (Al Hurricane), and great BBQ. This event will be held outdoors outside of the Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho, NM.
This event sounds like fun! It is not free like most of my posts, but the admission seems reasonable. Adults are $5 each; Seniors 50+ and children 3-12 are $3; children under two are free. In addition, you have the option of buying products, arts and crafts, food, and BBQ. The website states that you can purchase BBQ bucks at the center to be used at the event with the BBQ competitors. So, be warned that at the end of the day, you can easily spend a lot.
