Valley's Day On The River Festival & FBA Bar-B-Que Cook-Off

This is going to be H-U-G-E!!! The Florida Bar-B-Que Association is holding a Bar-B-Que Cook-off with "Bar-B-Que Experts" coming from across the Southeast to pit their BBQ against the "Best in the South".  Music all day - with 7 bands or solo artists already signed to perform.

Games - Fun Events - Food - FIREWORKS - FIREWORKS - FIREWORKS!!! The day will end with one of the largest fireworks displays in Valley's history.

Special thanks to KIA and J. Smith Lanier & Co. for sponsoring George Molton, country music's newest rising star, who will make a very special appearance at this big event.

It's all going to be here at the first annual City of Valley's  "Day On The River Festival" on May 24th.  Make plans to attend now!
