Clint Black has tallied 22 number-one hits on the Billboard Country Music Chart over the span of his career.  On Friday, July 26, another chart-topping artist Craig Morgan takes the stage in Hannibal.

The Hannibal Bar-B-Q is a new event, organized by Jason Gregory who specializes in organizing and promoting some pretty spectacular events in our area, including the recent Brew Skies Music Festival.  https://hannibalbrews.com/  

Besides the great music, the Hannibal Bar-B-Q naturally features some of the country's best barbecue artists.  The Kansas City Barbecue Society is hosting a competition with a $6,000 prize purse for the top finishers Sunday afternoon in the categories of chicken, ribs, pork and brisket.  You can enter a team at kcbs.us.
