6th Annual Red Dirt BBQ Festival, Tyler

on

Sampled 5/4/19

Another excellent day of BBQ in downtown Tyler and still one of our favorite BBQ events of the year.  28 joints and so much good food to eat.  The weather had been iffy all week, but by the time they opened the gates for the VIP ticket holders the sun was starting to peek through the clouds.  How the Tyler Chamber of Commerce arranged that, I have no idea, but kudos!

We arrived a little more than an hour before VIP entry around 10:50 am and found ourselves about 20 back in the VIP line.  There were already folks in lawn chairs cueing in the general admission line.  We spent the time visiting with folks and waiting for the fun to begin.
After about 30 minutes, the crew came down the line doing check in, handed out our t-shirt and beer tickets, then followed up with ID checks for beer.  Everything flowed smoothly, as it does every year at this fest.  After we got all our wristbands, I made a reconnoiter around the perimeter to see where Snow's was set up.  This was their first year at Red Dirt and we wanted to hit them at the start.











work in progress, come back for more soon
