Last year, it
looked like rain. This year, there was no stopping Mother Nature; but to its credit, the 23rd annual
Safeway National Capital Barbecue Battle carried on without a hitch. That meant the usual myriad of delicious barbecue, freebies and music... enjoyed by thousands (armed with umbrellas.) The rain continued to fall, before relinquishing for good around 5 o'clock... just in time for an evening full of music with
Sugar Bear & EU, among others. Lucky for us (and more importantly
you) there's another day of food & activities set for tomorrow (11 AM - 7:30 PM) with a weather forecast so good, you might want to thank the aforementioned Mother Nature in advance.
