Pure Barbecue

Forget about waiting online for hours in New York City just to get a taste of Barbecue at the Madison Square Park annual event next week. Head over to Atlantic City this weekend where you can help a great cause and have some great Barbecue cooking. Besides, you can visit the famous Boardwalk and my favorite Casino The Taj Mahal after the great cookout. Discover the many great things this historic town has to offer.The ChARTer ~TECH High School for Performing Arts presents “The Art of BBQ Cook-off Competition” on Saturday, May 31, 2008 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on the grounds of the Atlantic City Race Course, in Mays Landing, NJ. “The Art of BBQ” is the first annual BBQ cook-off competition to benefit the ChARTer~TECH High School for Performing Arts and is the school's first major event of this kind designed to raise funds for the programs offered in Instrumental Music, Vocal, Dance, Theatre and TV/Film/Animation Production.
