Owensboro Tailgating

We are going to try something different this week and focus on a small city and the approach they can take to tailgating. Owensboro is the 4th-largest city in the state of Kentucky with a population of 58,416. Opportunities to tailgate are at events at Brescia University and Kentucky Wesleyan College. The Kentucky Mavericks of the Premier Basketball League recently announced they will be moving their franchise from Shreveport, Louisiana.

The International Bar-B-Q Festival is also held in Owensboro, Kentucky, every second weekend in May since 1979.

The Dizzy Pig Barbecue Company is actually from Virginia. But their version of a BBQ Lamb is quite tasty. They made it to honor an awesome mutton dish found at the Moonlite BBQ in Owensboro, Kentucky. Because mutton is not always found everywhere they substitute in lamb shoulder.

And we will finish with a Kentucky version of the classic Mule drink.
