With the first day of Autumn officially come and gone, it’s almost time for Laurens County’s 12th Annual Squealin’ On The Square barbecue festival. The event is scheduled to take place in downtown Laurens on October 5th and 6th and will feature a professionally judged barbecue cook-off, musical performances, arts & crafts sales, and other community-driven events and vendor booths. This year, the festival will be hosting a charity raffle to help raise money for a member of the local community who has been battling breast cancer.
J.E.S. Restaurant Equipment will be sponsoring the raffle’s second place prize: a 50 dollar gift certificate redeemable at the J.E.S. Kitchen Emporium. Keeping with the spirit of the festival, the first place winner will receive a live, 90 lb. wild boar. Entries for the raffle cost $2.00 per entry, and the drawing will be held on October 6th at 4:00 PM. So if you are in need of some new kitchen equipment (or just some tasty barbecue), be sure to head on over to the Laurens County Square on the weekend of October 5th and put your name in the hat.
