If you’ve been attending the Holy Smoke BBQ Festival at Johnson Ferry Church on Labor Day in recent years, you’ll need to make some other plans.
In updating our calendar listings, we saw that the church’s men’s ministry has sidelined the event for 2019, which would have been two weeks from today, Sept. 2. From Sunday’s church bulletin:
“It has been a wonderful community event, but Men’s Ministry felt it was important to let it rest this year. Enjoy Labor Day with your neighbors and friends!”
Holy Smoke featured a full, day-long platter of food and activities—catered BBQ from Williamson Bros., music, games, a kids’ zone and a vintage car show.
It’s been a busy time at Johnson Ferry in recent weeks and months, as founding pastor Rev. Bryant Wright prepares to retire, and his successor, Rev. Clay Smith, takes over on Sept. 8.
There’s two full days of food, music and similar fun and games continuing in another East Cobb Labor Day tradition, now in its 9th year: The Noshfest at Temple Kol Emeth.
It’s Sunday, Sept. 1 from 11-5 and Labor Day, Monday Sept. 2, from 11-4 in the parking lot (1415 Old Canton Road). Admission is free, but you’re asked to bring two canned goods per family as a donation to MUST Ministries.
In addition to kosher food selections and cooking demonstrations, there will be interactive exhibits, arts and crafts vendors, a kids’ zone, face-painting, live music and dancing and a bagel-eating contest.
Parking is available across the street at Eastminster Presbyterian Church.
