Labor Day Association to Host BBQ Contest in Gibson County
If you're ready to put your backyard cooking skills to the test, then the annual Labor Day Association BBQ Contest is awaiting your entry. I absolutely love cooking outside. Low and slow cooking is something I've been doing for the last few years, making everything from brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and whole chicken. I've even begun grinding and casing my own smoked sausage, such as savory beer brats, Polish Kielbasa, and Texas hot links. It's a really fun hobby, and if it's something you enjoy too, you should definitely check out this awesome barbecue contest in Gibson County.

Haunted Historic Evansville announced that their popular ghost walks will be back for 2024, but only for one weekend. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I am a sucker for a good ghost story. Ever since I was a kid, I've always been fascinated by ghost stories, and I remember being glued to the computer screen with my cousin trying to find the Grey Lady on the Willard Library Ghost Cams. So I love the fact that ghost walks have become a popular event to attend around our area. We have many great ghost walk options in the Tri-State as well!
