The Chattanooga Market had a first last Sunday with its Beast Feast BBQ Cookoff. Some of the best BBQ chefs in the area set up shop. Despite the weather, the crowds came and stood in line to taste the best. We could buy a plate or a ticket to sample all.

This Sunday is Big Band Day. As part of the EPB CFL Day Electric Power Board (EPB) will give away 3,000 free CFL (compact fluorescent light bulbs) bulbs. You can also return used CFL bulbs. Also come and learn from the Master Gardeners of Hamilton County "to give you the "dirt" on gardening and answer any questions you may have about your plants and gardens at home."
It is great to live in Chattanooga.
Sounds like it is going to be a vibrant and enjoyable weekend Richard. I love pork but not nessessarily seeing the whole thing on a spit. :-)
William,
Had to giggle a little with your comment. Actually I debated whether to post that photo, so many might not like meat anyway. Especially seeing the pig on a spit. I took 3 pictures.
In the end I just decided it was too unusual, at least for me. And I posted it.
If I get any complaints though I will probably switch it out. Really do not mean to offend anyone.
It was a great time. I am looking forward to this Sunday as well.
Richard
