BARBECUE IS BACK! From Washington (noon) Rotary Club

The Washington (noon) Rotary Club will host the 22nd-annual Smoke on the Water BBQ and Chili Contest on Saturday. Festivities will take place along the beautiful Pamlico River in downtown Washington.

Some of the best pig cookers from across the state participate, making this contest one of the best! This year there will be two separate contests, one for gas cookers and the North Carolina state championship for traditional cooking with wood or charcoal. Cookers arrive Friday and cook all night to deliver the best pig possible, which will be judged beginning at 8 a.m. Saturday. After judging, the pigs (donated by Smithfield) are brought to a tent, chopped and then sandwiches and pints are sold to the public. Smoke on the Water attracts travelers from all across the state because of its scenic location, with all the charm of a small, Southern town and its historic waterfront.

The Smoke on the Water festival is one of the Washington (noon) Rotary’s major annual fundraisers carrying a great impact on the local community in areas of retail and tourism. But the best thing about Smoke on the Water is that all proceeds are donated to local non profit groups such as the American Red Cross, Boys & Girls Club, Young Life, Ruth’s House (domestic violence shelter), the Marion L. Shepard Cancer Center, Inner Banks STEM Center, Eagle’s Wings (food bank), Zion Shelter and Kitchen, Washington High School’s Jr. ROTC, Little Washington Sailing School, Bright Futures, Boy Scouts, Purpose of God Annex, Beaufort-Hyde Partnership for Children, Toys for Tots and more.

Barbecue contestants will roll in and be in place by 5 p.m. Friday for the chief cooks meeting and showmanship judging. Friday night festivities to kick off the festival weekend include the fan-favorite Pig Parade, a free movie in the park and free kids’ rides. Festival hours Saturday are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and events include a 5K race sponsored by the Washington Montessori Public Charter School, a chili competition with cash prizes awarded, a Fire Engine pull, a beer garden, Downeast Rods and Classic Cars’ car, truck and bike show, a special Kids Zone, train ride, arts and crafts vendors and more. Arts of the Pamlico will host a Blues and Jazz Festival providing live music all day long.

Actors from East Carolina University’s Storybook Theater will perform in the Kids Zone and the Aurora Fossil Museum provides educational and fun things to do for the whole family. A motorcycle ride to benefit the local animal shelter takes off on Saturday morning as well. For more information, visit online at smokeonthewater.info or call 252-944-6136.

Line-up is at 6 p.m. at the Washington Waterfront Underground Railroad Museum caboose by the Washington Civic Center for anyone wishing to participate.

Join the Washington (noon) Rotary Club, Smithfield Foods and Nutrien, with numerous other sponsors, in celebrating the 22nd-annual Smoke on the Water Festival with the “funeral procession,” featuring mourners weeping and wailing for the pigs’ ultimate sacrifice.

The parade is led by members of the Washington (noon) Rotary playing a dirge on kazoos. Following the band is the coffin containing the sacrificial pig and the “official” family of mourners dressed in black. Members of the Washington (noon) Rotary club will tote signs denoting the various Smoke on the Water events. All participants don pig noses for the march.

The parade begins and ends at the corner of Main and Gladden streets. As the mourners march down Main Street and up Stewart Parkway, the crowds on the sidewalks laugh and cheer them on.

Smoke on the Water takes place on Saturday with BBQ and Chili contests, a classic car show, Fire Engine Pull, live Blues and Jazz music all day, a special Kids Zone, train rides and more.

The Beaufort County Developmental Center’s five-star licensed Child Development Center provides preschool and child care services to children with and without disabilities from birth through age 12.

This integration offers the advantage of lower teacher/ child ratios, the opportunity to be around children who are different but very much alike and the expertise of a highly trained teaching staff.

In every situation, services are designed around each child’s specific needs and can include intensive one-on-one or group training and therapies and family support and training. In combination, all of these services are designed to enhance and build on the child’s skills while promoting an increased level of indepen-

dence.

Developmental day activities are designed to help delayed children meet the accepted or expected milestones in child development. The day program offers services for children from birth to age 5 who are atrisk for developmental disabilities. Families are referred by local mental health centers, the public school system and other educational or human service agencies. The early identification and screening provided often leads to improved performance and higher accomplishments later in life.

Cooper Greer Cooper Greer is one of the of the foremost up-and-coming country artists in eastern North Carolina. He was born in southwest Missouri then moved all over the country as a child until he ended up in eastern NC. He grew up in a rural area, working on a farm, hunting, fishing and playing guitar since the age of nine. He discovered his love for songwriting around the age of 16 and has been writing ever since. At 18, he started to rodeo, riding bulls and broncs and traveling the country. These experiences shaped his songwriting to become something truly special.

In November 2017, he released his first single “Lost Ships,” which was picked up by local radio as soon as it came out. The success of that single launched his career forward, allowing him to play more than 100 shows, as well as a solo tour spanning from North Carolina to Arizona all in his first year of touring. In 2019, he released his extremely successful second single “To Be Loved Right.” He is extremely active in raising money for charities through benefit concerts.

He has been featured in Eastern Living Magazine as well as multiple newspapers. Cooper’s style is heavily influenced by artists such as Johnny Cash, Deirks Bentley and Chris Young. He is currently in the studio working on his next single “Right Where I Needed To Be,” which was set to be released in September 2019.

He has been playing receptions, dances, weddings, dinners, benefits and entertainment venues ever since.

Steve, who also plays solo guitar, studied music formally through private lessons and courses at Wake Forest University and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees, respectively, as well as receiving a master’s degree and Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill.

A songwriter during high school and college, three of his compositions were recorded, including “Spanish Guitar,” which was re-released in the fall of 2015 on a German label, Tramp Records.

JUDGES BBQ ON-SITE JUDGES Brownie Futrell Brownie Futrell is a retired Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper publisher who now has time to pursue his passion for barbecue. He’s been judging barbecue competitions for the past 20 years, and is certified by the North Carolina Pork Council, the Kansas City Barbecue Society, the Memphis Barbecue Network and the Steak Cookoff Association. While each organization is different in its approach, and each has its own endearing qualities that make it both unique and commendable, his heart remains with the Pork Council, where he serves as a member of its barbecue committee. He believes whole-hog cooking is the best test of a chef ’s overall cooking expertise, and he particularly enjoys on-site judging.

Futrell has judged competitions from New Hampshire to Mississippi and has judged the world championship in Memphis for the past 15 years, always wearing his trademark flame shirt. He has written about barbecue for WilliamsSonoma and has been seen on the Discovery Network and films produced by the N.C. Pork Council. Futrell is a trained volunteer with both The Salvation Army and Operation Barbecue Relief and has prepared and served meals during and following natural disasters.

Tim Croom Judge Tim Croom has lived in Knightdale for the past 34 years, with his wife of 36 years, Terry. They have three grown children: a daughter and twin boys. Croom was employed at Piedmont Service Group doing commercial heating and air conditioning as a project manager. He retired in January of 2017 after 40 years of dedicated service.

Croom was born in Savannah, Georgia, and his family moved to Cary when he was 13 years old. Both of Croom’s parents were raised on farms in Kinston. Croom was introduced to hogs at an early age. At 8 or 9 years old, he helped at his father’s parents farm with killing and processing hog meat and all by-products. On his mother’s side, he helped his grandfather cook hogs while the other men would go out running dogs and fox hunting. He cooked his first solo hog at the age of 17.

Croom still enjoys cooking in general, especially the art of cooking hogs. He also enjoys golfing, fishing and, most of all, judging competitions. He is a certified NCPC and KCBS judge, and has judged for about seven years now.

Charlie Martin Charlie Martin is a popular judge on the North Carolina barbecue circuit, not only for his breadth of judging expertise, but for his friendly banter with competitors and judges alike. Having judged in Newport, Kinston, Edenton, Murfreesboro, Clinton, Washington, Kenansville, Swansboro, Seaboard, Greenville and others, his knowledge and experience speaks for itself.

While Martin has been judging barbecue for more than 15 years, he’ll probably tell you that his first judging experience occurred when hogs were first brought to North America. While that’s not entirely true, he became a North Carolina certified judge at the suggestion of John Adams, a great friend and a top N.C. certified judge who passed away a couple of years ago. Since then, any funds given to events he judges are donated to the John Q. Adams V Ag Scholarship Fund, NC Cooperative Extension Service in Raleigh. When he’s not judging barbecue, Martin is a consultant for Team PRP, Premium Recycled Parts. He retired as a claims manager with State Farm Insurance after 35 years.

Lubin Prevatt Lubin Prevatt is in his 20th year of judging sanctioned barbecue events as a certified barbecue judge. He is a master barbecue judge and judge trainer for the North Carolina Pork Council, a master barbecue judge for the Kansas City Barbecue Society, a certified barbecue judge for the Memphis Barbecue Network and a certified barbecue judge for the North Carolina Barbecue Society.

Prevatt judges about 10 to 15 barbecue cook-offs each year, as well as charity events. Prevatt judged the Memphis-InMay World Barbecue Championship and KCBS events across North Carolina, but his favorite events are the North Carolina Pork Council sanctioned events with their on-site whole-hog judging (Hot-onthe-Grill). He frequently judges in the NCPC’s Whole Hog State Championship in Raleigh, both on-site and blind judging. Prevatt also enjoys training several new judges for the NCPC each year.

Prevatt grew up in Lumberton, graduated with a degree in civil engineering from N.C. State University, lived in Raleigh and worked with NCDOT for 38 years, conducting transportation planning, engineering and environmental impact studies for major highway projects and bridge replacements across North Carolina.
