Those with hick in their blood can simply follow their schnozzes on Saturday, December 5, to the inaugural Que & Brew: An Official Triple Crown Event BBQ State Championship. Officially sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society, the event features a cook-off with pro and backyard throw-down divisions, a Four Peaks Brewery-sponsored beer garden, and tubs more fun.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, December 5, in the parking lot of Emerald Design Center.
