Spring Valley BBQ Fest is Sunday

The third annual Spring Valley BBQ Fest is being held Sunday, Oct. 14, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The always-popular event, co-sponsored by the Spring Valley Chamber of Commerce, will once again be held on the closed-down Troy Street in front of Cali Comfort Restaurant and Sports Bar. Since its inception in 2010, the festival continues to grow, and is able to raise more for youth sports in the Spring Valley area.

Come out and try some of the best renditions of pork ribs, tri-tip, chicken, carne asada, and tailgate decorations in the county, as competition teams will be able to sell 2-ounce samples of their barbecue for $2 to festival guests from noon to 3 p.m. Half of the "BBQ Bucks" proceeds will go to the amateur team and half will go toward the youth sports benefactors.

There is no outside alcohol permitted at the event, though a beer garden will be set up outside Cali Comfort. And not to worry, football fans. NFL games will be shown on their 10 HD TVs. There will also be live music throughout the day, with performances by great local bands.
