The Pig was King at today's Phantom Gourmet BBQ Cookoff at the Rochester Fairgrounds!!
We were a little disappointed that there weren't local restaurants and civic groups competing in the event, but the barbecue and the music were fantastic and there were many chances to enter for raffles for local area business giveaways.
Budweiser seemed to be second in line to the throne and the beer was flowing all over the fairgrounds as attendees sampled the many different barbecued and smoked meats, roasted corn on the cob, baked goods and tapped their feet to a variety of different country music bands.
Walkin' the Line on stage at the Rochester Fairgrounds for the
Phantom Gourmet BBQ Country Festival with Line Dancing by Dance FUNatics.
Lebanon Truth Seekers had the opportunity to enjoy many Country Music favorites performed by Walkin' The Line and Jay Taylor. There were line dancers from Dance FUNatics and lots of children learning to line dance to their favorite country music songs.
There were many BBQ offerings at the Rochester Fairgrounds on Saturday for
the Phantom Gourmet's BBQ Country Festival.
Sunday's musical lineup looks great too, however, be warned that the $5 admission price is non-refundable and there is no inside venue for enjoying the music in the case of a forecasted downpour.
Sunday, June 28 festivities begin at noon and end at 8 pm, including music by Chicken Fry, Caroline Lawler, Jandee Lee Porter Band and Tim Charron.
Just by luck, my favorite BULL 93.5 Country Music Radio Station DJ, Matt, was in attendance shaking hands and giving out bumper stickers and chances to win Darius Rucker concert tickets!!

This drone was seen flying over the Phantom Gourmet BBQ Country Festival
during Saturday's events.
And for those of you who don't bother looking UP, there was an eye in the sky flying over the festival keeping it's eye on partiers, dancers and feasters. Looking around we realized that Lebanon Truth Seekers were the only ones who even realized we were being watched! After several walks around the Fairground, the man in control was spotted sitting at a table in the Budweiser Beer area. Chatting with him, revealed that the footage would be featured on an upcoming segment of The Phantom Gourmet, a popular regular feature on Boston's Channel 38 television network. So, if you were at the Festival today, keep your eyes on upcoming episodes of The Phantom Gourmet and you may just have your 15 minutes of television fame!
Oh, and in case you're wondering what Lebanon Maine Truth Seekers favorite BBQ was...........
We loved the Johnson's Original Recipe Ribs!! Delicious with just the right amount of zing and not too heavy on the sauce!!
