CRESTVIEW —The Crestview Area Chamber of Commerce is organizing the 13th Annual Triple B (Blackwater, Bands and Barbecue) Cook-off.
The cookoff is set for 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. March 25 at Old Spanish Trail Park, on Stillwell Boulevard in Crestview.
Attractions include arts and crafts vendors, entertainment, children's activities and booths. Many events are designed to entertain people of all ages, which will serve to keep families at the event for a longer period, hence spending more money at the vendor booths, according to a chamber media release.
“We expect participants from all over the region,” the release stated. “The day will be filled with live music, barbecue all around the park and plenty of vendors, and ends with the barbecue awards ceremony.”
Food vendors may visit www.myfloridalicense.com and click the link for mobile food vendors to see if they need licensing to participate in this event. Vendors and competitors are responsible for any fees they must pay due to improper licensing.
Potential participants may return applications by the March 20 deadline, along with a picture or description of the craft or product they're providing and a payment for the booth, to Crestview Area Chamber of Commerce, 1447 Commerce Drive, Crestview, FL 32539.
