I heard it was financial reasons for the festival to be cancelled this year. It's a shame because that was a great event. I'm particularly bummed out because last year Helen and I won first place and third place in the Hottest Pepper category in the Pepper Tent. We were looking forward to the competition again this year. I heard that the alternate event for this will be "Acton Days" being held September 21st in Acton, MA. I also checked the New England BBQ Society's website and they actually list both the Acton Days and the event in Lowell as being the official State Championships this year. I have no idea how this can be the case. Very confusing. Check out www.nebs.org for the latest info.
