Families and kids came out to enjoy music, barbecue, and rides around the track. The event is put on to benefit local charities through the race track’s Darlington Shares program.
There were chefs from North and South Carolina in attendance competing for first place. News 13 talked to Pitmaster, Brian Pearson, about what it means to be able to do what he loves while giving back to the community.
“One thing I love about people cooking is that we love giving back to the community,” said Pearson. “It’s a good fundraiser, and doing fundraisers are going to bring barbecue people out.”
