WHAT IS A TESTICLE FESTIVAL? A tradition as old as cowboys themselves, testicle festivals started out as a “calf fry” where members of the ranching communities would gather together to brand and castrate their cattle. Being ever resourceful and never one to waste product, these ingenious men would sit around the camp fires and cook the castrated testicles, “had a ball” (pun intended) and the rest is history. The Testicle Festival, Calf Fry, Rocky Mountain Oyster Festival, whatever you call it, our Testicle Festival is a family friendly celebration steeped in our rich western heritage.

WHAT IS THE MAZATZAL GRILL MASTERS BBQ COMPETITION? The Mazatzal Grill Masters is a nationally recognized KCBS Master Series BBQ competition held annually the last week of September. The competition is a limited field event, open to just 40 national competition BBQ teams. Event is presented by the Mazatzal Hotel & Casino, KCBS and Arlieque Event Management. Over $17,000 in prize money is up for grabs along with the title of “MAZATZAL GRILL MASTERS” Champion.

August 2018

The trip to Ohio in July was an absolute whirlwind.  It’s really never a vacation for me but rather a working trip.  Regardless, it’s always great to visit family and friends as well as play all the venues that I used to haunt when I lived back in C-Bus.  Thank you to all the venue owners for having me back and I look forward to doing it again, next summer.  I’m right back to the grind in August so get out and support live local music!
