If you're from the south, then chances are you share our universal
affection for barbeque! BBQ is as southern of a tradition as apple
pie and endearing lexicon. This food-born trademark, famous for its
saucy ingredients and finger-lickin’ goodness, is simply a way of life
for some! And now, The Junior League of Ocala is bringing BBQ to town
in a big way! In 2011, the inaugural Pig Out! The Junior League of
Ocala's BBQ Contest is coming to the Florida Horse Park for Marion
County's first annual professional barbeque contest. Sanctioned by
the Florida Bar-B-Que Association (FBA), the contest will include a
number of competitive BBQ’ers from around the state of Florida,
who will compete for prizes and recognition for their quality barbecue.

Competitive teams won't be the only ones slow cooking and smoking at
the event either - local "backyard BBQ-ers" are also invited to
participate and show Ocala what good BBQ tastes like too!

So join JLO on May 14, 2011 for good music, great food and family fun
... and let’s pig out, Ocala!"
