There was also a Central Market Grillin’ Competition with categories of beef, pork, chicken, and a grand champion contest for grilled pizzas. Jeff Janek from Keller won the grand champion contest with a pizza with pork ribs and polish sausage with pepper jack and mozzarella cheeses. He won a Big Green Egg grill and gift certificates from Central Market.

The festival benefits the Grapevine Heritage Foundation. The festival in 2012 will be May 18, 19, and 20.
