Q is king for
this bank president
The March issue of
Virginia Business featured an article by Joshua Covington
titled “B-B-Q King: I hear a pig calling my name.”
What a great article! As a person who enjoys Q, I found
the article enjoyable, and I am excited to tell you
about the James River BBQ Fest, which takes place Sept.
26 and 27 in Lynchburg’s Riverfront Festival Park.
Community First Bank, a community bank
with offices in Lynchburg and its surrounding communities,
is creator and sponsor of the Fest — a Kansas City
Barbeque Society-sanctioned event. In researching the
term barbecue, barbeque or BBQ, it is fascinating and
overwhelming to read what comes up on the worldwide
Web. There are barbeque food safety tips, barbeque histories
… even a Web site that has a 131-page document
entitled “FAQ of the Internet BBQ List.”
The truth of the matter is that barbeque
means different things to different people and, as Mr.
Covington noted, the region of the country in which
you live determines the types of barbeque, methods of
preparation and sauces used. As you can tell, barbeque
is a passion of mine.
