The 9th Annual ‘Blazin Hog’ BBQ Competition and Zydeco Music Festival will be held on Saturday, September 19, 2015, from noon to 8:00 p.m., at the Mariposa Fairgrounds, in Mariposa. 

“The BBQ Competition had over 20 teams last year, and the crowds got to taste a lot of BBQ.  With cash prizes of up to $500 in three categories, chicken, ribs, and tri-tip, now’s the time for competitors to sign-up.  In addition to BBQ Competitors, we’re looking for event sponsors, craft and food vendors,” said Rudy Mensinger, committee chairman.  

This year’s headline act is the BluesBox Bayou Band.  Also featuring Glen Delpit & the Subterraneans, and Colorado Road. Dancing is encouraged.  BBQ, great music, and for a wonderful cause.    

This is one of the three major fundraising events put on by the John C. Fremont Hospital Foundation, and the ‘Blazin Hog’ is getting bigger each year.  With a rich line-up of three sensational bands, great BBQ, and the beautiful setting in the Sierra foothills, it’s a fun and affordable event that the whole family can enjoy.  Bonus – all proceeds go to provide medical equipment, and wellness programs for John C. Fremont Hospital.  Mariposa’s only hospital.

Ticket prices are: $15 adult, $10 seniors 65+, ages 5-17 $5.00, under 5-free.
