It stated on the groupin that event started at 12:30 ,however, it appeared that people were allowed in earlier because the lines were extremely long for each vendor. In addition to that the vendors were charging $2-$3 tickets per taste, and some OD the taste were no bigger than the size of the tip of a thumb. Finally, the line to purchase tickets was extremely long only to get to the front and they had ran out of tickets. Poorly organized, but could have been a very nice event.

long lines to taste bbq then they ran out of tickest to purchase for bbq tasting so we left early not doing this again !

Lines were too long, and the BBQ contestants ran out of food fast.
