On Sunday, August 19, the 6th annual Amateur BBQ Pulled Pork Competition will be held at Alyson’s Orchard from 11AM – 3 PM.  This fun, summer event, sponsored by Alyson’s Orchard and Kirby’s Q of Alstead is a benefit for the Fall Mtn. Food Shelf.  

There is no entry fee for participants, but they must supply 20 lbs. of pulled pork that has been cooked over wood or charcoal, for sampling.  If you wish to participate, email info@alysonsorchard.com  for details or call Fran at 603-756-9800.

The public is welcome to sample the pulled pork and vote for the People’s Choice Award between 12 noon and 2PM.  There is no admission charge for this event, but anyone who wants to sample must make a small cash contribution to benefit the Fall Mountain Food Shelf.

There will also be BBQ food for sale to the public from Kirby’s Q, a Beer & Soft Drink Tent to compliment the BBQ, and unique ice cream, mixed and frozen on the spot using liquid nitrogen, from Sub Zero Ice Cream & Yogurt!
