The second annual Great Southeast BalloonFest will be “burning at
both ends” this year as a brand new event is added to the line-up.

While hot-air balloon burners are firing up on the Balloon Launch Field,
competitive barbecue rib vendors will be firing up their grills in the
midway area. The event will consist of dozens of rib stickin’ finger lickin’
good times. From pulled pork to rattle’n the ribs, it will be the ultimate
location in the Upstate to pig out. Just for kicks, we're asking the
neighbors to throw down as well. North Carolina, Georgia, and South
Carolina go head to head for the best BBQ around. Who will win? Join
the judge’s team and find out. Stay tuned and you might just win a
chance to be a judge yourself. The winner will be announced live on
Monday before lunch.

The ribs competition doesn't stop there. Have a local business and
want to be a star? The Local Burners Competition is just what the
doctor ordered. How would you like to see your local TV stars, local
businesses, the mayor, or maybe the guy who owns the local car lot
fight it out for the bragging rights and more? We’ll give them a chance
to decorate, get irate and a little hot under the barbie. Do you have
what it takes to raise a little smoke? Register today as space is limited.

Add to that a bunch of local bands from the Upstate area firing up their
amplifiers for a new “Battle of the Bands” competition. The lead-up to
the event will be joined by dozens of local venues nominating there
favorite garage guitar jammers. Then, they will rock out the weekend
for prizes and the claim to fame as the greatest up-and-coming rock
band in the Upstate. Winner will play in the final rock-off.

The Great American Rockin’ Rib Rock Off is joining forces with the
Great Southeast BalloonFest Aug. 29-31 to form one HUGE Labor Day
weekend EXTRAVAGANZA!!!

The Great American Rockin’ Rib Rock Off is
produced by Jester Co. Marketing &
Entertainment. For booth space, vendor
