"The Backyard BBQ show will be awesome!" says spokesperson, Deana Clark.  "We had a lot of fun having an outside show last year, so we decided to do it again, but at a much larger venue.    The fairgrounds should be the perfect place for the show, with lots of parking and seating for several hundred."
