People love the farm fresh roasted sweet corn we’ve been serving up for the last 10 years. Some say they would come just for the corn. It’s very good! In addition to that we will be serving up a Mississippi Delta Blues special menu of slow smoked meats.  The most fantastic news is Blues Super Star LONNIE SHIELDS will be personally cooking it for you. Lonnie will be slow smoking and slathering on his “Lick the Bone” barbeque sauce to ribs, pulled pork, sausage and chicken.  You can still bring your coolers but don’t bother bringing food 'cause as Lonnie says, “You don’t need no teeth to eat my meat.” Lonnie will also be “smok'n” with his guitar on the Back Porch Stage throughout the weekend Blues Festival. Lonnie loves to cook!

We supply clean Porta-Potties, Sink for washing hands and Potable Water. Shower available in Camping Area with non-heated water.
