This year's theme is "Las Vegas Style," and visitors can expect to sample BBQ from a relatively smaller collection of vendors set up for catering rather than competition. If you want to sample lots of pork and brisket in one place, this is where you can do it. http://www.buffalochow.com/events/2009/09/oinktoberfest.html http://www.buffalochow.com/events/2009/09/oinktoberfest.html Sun, 27 Sep 2009 22:00:00 -0500
