The promoter of the popular Brew-B-Que Festival says his annual event has outgrown its location in Buda.
According to an article in a Conroe newspaper, promoter Jeb Hurt says he wants to move the three-year-old festival to Conroe north of Houston. He told the Conroe City Council this week that Conroe was a “great area to come into,” The Courier of Montgomery County reports.
“We have to make it work,” he told the council.
Hurt requested $30,000 from the Greater Conroe Convention and Visitors Bureau’s reserve fund, the newspaper reported. Festival organizers were said to be putting up $70,000 of their own funds to offset expenses.
Combing beers and barbecue, Brew-B-Que drew an estimated 2,400 people to Buda’s City Park over the 2011 Labor Day weekend.
