No, the date of Owensboro’s International BBQ Festival has NOT been moved, it WILL be held this coming weekend on the Riverfront. Last week Festival officials scrambled the Internet after a post on the satire website TristateNews.us said the festival was being secretly rescheduled – to fool the rain. The article claimed that by advertising the festival on one weekend, but actually holding it on another, Mother Nature could be tricked into sending rain on the wrong weekend. Yes, apparently a lot of people did believe it.
