We are so ready for 2022 May 13th and 14th Friday night is Anything Butt BBQ and Saturday is The BBQ contest. We kick off summer the best way we know how.. with our annual Hog on the Hill BBQ Contest. This is a South Carolina Barbeque Association sanctioned event. Hog on The Hill takes place the first weekend in may and brings cook teams from near and far for some of the best BBQ around. There is also entertainment and activities for the kids to go along with all the awesome food.
