WINTER GARDEN Hundreds of barbecue fans flocked to downtown Winter Garden on Saturday, Feb. 18, for the city’s sixth annual Blues and BBQ Festival. The smell of barbecue filled the area around the downtown pavilion as the more than 10 vendors stoked their smokers and grills filled with various cuts of meat. While licking barbecue sauce off their fingers, the crowd enjoyed the blues musicians featured throughout the evening, including Souliz, TC Carr and the Bolts of Blue, and the Damon Fowler Group. All proceeds raised during the event was donated to the American Cancer Society.
