Blues and BBQ a Huge Success

The Blue Ridge Lodging Association and the Fannin County Chamber of Commerce held its 4th Annual Blues and BBQ Festival this past weekend.
Thousands gathered in to take in live music, shopping and great food.

The festival included over 10 local and regional vendors serving their different BBQ style culinary delights.

Headlining the event was Ray Fuller and The Blues Rockers. The festival started on Friday Night with a Blues Crawl.

The Crowds crawled through 8 local downtown restaurants enjoying live music, food, and drinks to start the Blues Weekend in the mountains.

A portion of all net proceeds went to benefit Open Arms of Blue Ridge.
