Hogging Up BBQ & Music Festival Virginia

Hogging Up Pennsylvania Big Fat Daddy’s Home Base

Admin — Wed, 03 Jun 2015 20:49:26 +0000

Big Fat Daddy’s would like to sponsor Hogging Up again, and has found what appears to be a good location for a future KCBS BBQ Festival & Competition closer to home base near York, Pennsylvania. This undisclosed location will power big rigs and have a covered building for the judges. We are currently discussing possibilities with the property owner who has ongoing construction and improvements to the site. It is unforseen when all these improvements will be completed and if we can book a date for 2016 but we are working on it. Things have been busy for Big Fat Daddy’s during 2015 doing the Factory Tour Stop for the County of York–the Convention and Visitor’s Bureau. These barbecue tours raise money for Bell Socialization Services, a local shelter in York Pennsylvania. So far we’ve had visitors from 12 different states who have enjoyed their visit. This came after we’d been inducted into the Southern Food and Beverage Museum and on top of that filmed on the second season of Food Network’s Carnival Eats show for our Colossal Got Beef? ® Crabcake.

Got Beef ? ® Acquiring Hogging Up Merchandise

Admin — Mon, 02 Mar 2015 05:20:19 +0000

Got Beef ? ® brand store has acquired all leftover and overprint Hogging Up merchandise, namely the piggy tshirts. You can see them here.

Although the HoggingUp wordpress site is still going here, the HoggingUp.com URL is being redirected. So what’s up with that?

Festival Cancellation 2015

Hogging Up BBQ & Music Festival was officially put on hold for 2015 due to other commitments by Big Fat Daddy’s as per previous announcements, namely a stint with the Convention and Visitors Bureau of York County, Pennsylvania for public tours. We’ve gotten a lot of vendor inquiries so we’re posting it again.

Outlook for 2016 : Will there be a Hogging Up?

The usual date and location for 2016 looks bleak since festivals have moved around. Big Fat Daddy’s was using their (bye week aka vacation week) to host the festival, as they are booked solid into fairs and vending the remainder of the year with contacts already into May 2016 so hosting on other weeks is an issue. If this festival is held for 2016 year, it would have to be another date and possible location / venue change closer to the Big Fat Daddy’s home base. What will happen to Hogging Up remains to be seen. Stay tuned for more info.

And guess what? It’s Not BBQ! It’s Crab Dip since Wayne is from Baltimore his famous crab dip recipe made the Carnival Eats show. Filmed in May, it’s airing now.

Recycled Trophies a Big Hit

Admin — Thu, 14 Aug 2014 17:34:36 +0000

We have a whole warehouse of trophies that have been donated from schools and institutions.

We get asked a lot, just how many recycled trophies did it take to make enough for the barbecue festival? A whole lot! If you figure we gave trophies out for top ten in each category, plus specialty trophies and MVP’s, we made about 50 trophies out of over 300 old ones. This is simple, we break them down by disassembling and rebuild into bigger and better ones. We refurbish old parts and donate the toppers we donate to RetroChalet on Etsy (crafters use the toppers for wine stoppers.)

So if you consider for every 300 old trophies, we can make 50 new ones that’s keeping a lot of trophies out of the landfill! Thanks to donations from MD, DC, VA and PA who include schools and colleges, and we thank them!
