BBQ Awards "What a fabulous way to spend a Saturday! Who knew there were that many ways to prepare BBQ from outrageous flavor to fine dining flair" explained Celebrity Judge Donna Tashik, Horizons Foundation. The DizzyJukes Band and Cadillac Willy had over 1000 fans rocking late into the warm afternoon with their hot blues and soulful tunes.

 

Topping off the day of cold craft beer, top notch BBQ, single batch bourbons, spicy bloody marys and live blues and rock and roll was the beautiful view of the Destin East Pass.  It was a lip-smacking good time for all who attended.
