(Cushing) – The time is drawing close for the 12th annual BBQ & Blues Festival. Three bands are set to perform throughout the day at the festival, which was organized as a tribute to Cushing’s Oil & Pipeline Industry. Commemorative T-shirts, which have become collectibles, went on sale this week at the Cushing Chamber and other locations around Cushing.
The event begins with a poker run at 9:00 AM Saturday, and the BBQ tasting begins at 11:00 AM.
The first band to perform, The Bluehemians, also kicks off the music at 11:00. They will be followed by Home Brewed at 1:00, and at 3:00 PM, Slick Willie and the Right Cats will close out the show which runs until 5:00 PM.
