If you want to find out what is going on in the world of Arizona barbecue then I highly recommend you visit Arizona’s #1 BBQ Club and make some plans to visit their cook-offs, festivals, restaurants and everything else they offer.  Oh yeah, let’s not forget the great forums they have covering a wide range of bbq topics.  Great job guys.

Here is some info from their website:

Grillstock 2011 “BBQ & Blues Festival” builds on that success. We’re doubling the number of BBQ competition teams and introducing much more of a festival feel. A covered stage will welcome some fantastic blues bands throughout the weekend with headline acts playing on the Saturday night. Two bars will operate, one incorporating the Grillstock canteen and the other showcasing the Grillstock Beer Festival. With a dedicated VIP area, children’s entertainment zone and over 100 stands offering the very best in BBQ equipment, local food, drink & produce… it’s a tremendous day out for the whole family.

Looks like this is going to be a great event and if you are looking to get away and have some bbq, then why don’t you consider heading on over.

Find other BBQ Festivals and Competitions around the country at www.bbq-festivals.com

• Please make the date of your festival easy to find.  In fact make a graphic if possible and place it in the upper part of your page so that no scrolling or searching needs to be done to see the date.
• When you do your date information, please include the year.  I realize most of these websites are meant of communicating locally but there are a great number of people that seek out bbq events and actually plan trips around these events.  If I see a date but no year then I may be inclined to wonder if the site is current and if I cant find any indication that it is I will just move on.
• Place a link to a location page that shows a map and provides some information on the local area.  This is especially good if you are hoping to attract out of towners to your event.
• Take the music off the site.  It may sound nice to you, but to the average website viewer it is very annoying. There is really no need to have a banjo playing while someone is visiting your website

These are just a couple tips to help those that come across your bbq event website and want to attend…………  do you have any tips to ad?  Would love to hear them.

If you know of a barbecue festival or competition that is not listed them please email us your event info.  Please include the following:

• Event Name
• Date and time including the year
• Event Location
• Website URL
• Also include on or two photos for this blog and we will write about your event

Enjoy the 2011 barbecue season……
