Historic Cocoa Village BBQ & Blues 2011

06/14/2011 • Arts & Culture Review • Posted By: E=mc2

Early Friday morning, the caravan of cookers, roasters and grills began to roll into Historic Cocoa Village . As if pulled in by the aroma, people began to trickle onto the sidewalks and grass covered areas of Riverside Park . By Saturday afternoon, the crowds were everywhere as the smell of chicken, ribs and brisket filled the air. Many of the vendors served extras, like slaw, homemade jerky, funnel cakes and deep fried corn on the cob. With so many mouth-watering treats, I’m glad that I didn’t have to pick a winner!
