Our hometown baseball team might not be playing fired-up baseball at these days, but there will still be plenty of smoke at Coors Field this weekend during the Colorado Rockies Championship BBQ Contest.
The Sept. 18-19 contest will feature top teams from across the country, vying for $35,900 in prize money. The event is sanctioned by the Kansas City BBQ Society, the governing body of the world of low-and-slow cooking.
The contest also includes a fans' choice, where folks attending a Saturday afternoon barbecue tasting can vote on their favorites. Additional samples will be served by the Great American Cookout and the Rocky Mountain BBQ Association.
