Bowling Green/Warren County Regional Airport
Prime Time Events and
U.S. Bank is pleased to announce an event scheduled for September
8, 9 and 10. The event is an expanded format of the retired U.S.
Bank Balloon Classic, a staple event in this community for the past
13 years.
“U.S. Bank Balloons,
Tunes & BBQ” will feature the following events:
• Hot air balloons,
tether rides and balloon glow.
• Memphis in May sanctioned BBQ contest where teams compete
for cash prizes and the opportunity to advance to the BBQ cooking
contest.
• Local and national entertainment on Friday and Saturday
night.
Doug Gorman, past chairman
of Prime Time Events, talked about how this new event will build
upon the success of the Balloon Classic. “Quality events,
such as the Balloon Classic, are always seeking ways to keep the
event fresh, action-packed and entertaining to the public. Whereas
hot air balloons and country music entertainment have made the U.S.
Bank Balloon Classic a huge success, the addition of the regional
BBQ cook-off will take the new event to the next level.”
The BBQ contest will
feature teams who travel a circuit competing for the title of the
nation’s best BBQ. Their state-of-the-art rigs come complete
with the latest cooking equipment as they prepare some of the best
pork available throughout the country. The ultimate winner will
be decided by a group of professionally trained BBQ connoisseurs.
Many other fun events, all containing a “pig” theme,
will add to the entertainment.
Balloons will continue
to be an important focal point of the weekend as some of the country’s
top pilots bring their colorful and awe-inspiring balloons to Bowling
Green. The music format will be expanded to include more entertainment,
concluding with a major recording artist on Saturday evening.
