The Vincennes Watermelon Festival might just be the place for you. It was free to attend and you get all the watermelon you can eat! Venders sold a variety of food, drinks, crafts, and more.
Competition thrived at the event. Hundreds of pageant hopefuls competed for ribbons. The most popular contest wasn’t the 5k race, or the pageants. The 2007 Jack Daniels Grill-Off definitely got the most attention.
About 20 teams competed and the competition was stiff. The grillers wouldn’t reveal their top secret recipe, no matter how hard I tried.
The winners in each category are as follows:
Grillers Choice: OTT Grillers from
Baby Back Ribs: The Up in Smoke Gang from
Pulled Pork: Smokey’s A&M BBQ from Evansville In
