A slight chill will soon be in the air, which means the Mayor’s 32nd Annual BBQ Ball is just around the corner.

Roswell Mayor Jere Wood invites all friends and neighbors to come out for a food and fun-filled evening to benefit the Roswell Woman’s Club, a nonprofit service organization that supports the North Fulton community through volunteering and fundraising.

“The Roswell Woman’s Club thanks Mayor Jere Wood for choosing the Club as the 2015 beneficiary of the Mayor’s Annual BBQ Ball,“ said Bonnie Sammons of the Roswell Woman’s Club. “The Club is looking forward to participating in the judging for the BBQ and side dish taste-off.”

The annual event will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Oct. 17 at the home of Mayor Jere Wood and Claudia Wood, which is located at 10850 Stroup Road.

Comfortable attire is a must, and don’t forget your dancing shoes to dance the night away to great live music provided by Chris Roberts and groovy sounds of “The Relix.”

A friendly BBQ Taste Off and best side dish competition will kick up the spirit of this event as well as great libations provided by Gate City Brewing Company, Roswell’s own brewery. It’s not too late to get your BBQ or side dish on the ballot. To do so, contact Kim Weber at Mayorsbbqball@gmail.com for more information.

Already set to compete this year are Grand Champion BBQ, Spiced Right BBQ, Meating Street BBQ and AngelFire7 BBQ.

A prize for the best side dish brings an additional twist to the BBQ Ball this year. Side dish competitors in the lineup so far are Zoe’s Kitchen and Lucky’s Burger & Brew. Every guest will cast their vote in the competition.

Tickets, which are $30 per adult ticket and free for kids 6 and under, can be purchase here.
