"An old friend suggested last year that we needed an all-inclusive campground like they have at Sturgis, so I'm trying to build up to that," Brooks says. "My goal is to have AC/DC or ZZ Top by year six. Last year, we served barbecue there and had a group of bikers who drove down the Pig Trail every day to eat with us. We want to create a place where they can feel welcome — live music, some vendors, beer, barbecue, RV and tent camping — and we're also helping raise money for the Shop With a Cop program in Franklin County." The headliner this year will be the Otis Watkins Band from Oklahoma City, which recently played the Red River Memorial Motorcycle Rally in New Mexico. Hours for the event will be 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sept. 26-29. Find out more by searching for Turner Bend Outfitter on Facebook or calling 667-3641. Rogers Downtown Partners, also known as Go Downtown Rogers, an association of merchants in downtown Rogers, already has created a destination event to the north. Bikes on the Bricks is in its third year, and this year, organizers have stirred in the 5-year-old Frisco Inferno BBQ Competition hosted by the Rotary Club of Downtown Rogers. "This year, the club asked RDP if they could bring the two events together since it was the same weekend as Bikes, Blues & BBQ ," says RDP President Rick McLeod. "Coincidentally, Bikes, Blues & BBQ was also looking for a venue to host their annual barbecue competition, and they chose our event since it's already established. So for the first time, Downtown Rogers is also the official barbecue event site for Bikes, Blues & BBQ!" Bikes on the Bricks, set for Sept. 28 in the parking lots bordered by Walnut and First streets in downtown Rogers, will also include a biker breakfast starting at 8 a.m., a vintage motorcycle show from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., a beer garden from noon to 9:30 p.m. and live music from 7 to 10 p.m. featuring 90LB Wrench. "The Rotary Club of Downtown Rogers receives the proceeds from the barbecue competition," McLeod says. "The Northwest Arkansas Food Bank receives proceeds from the Poker Run; the Ozark Vintage Motorcycle Association bike show donates money to the Circle of Life Hospice; and RDP also receives proceeds from the operation of a beer tent during the event." Official Events Bikes, Bulls & BBQ, on Sept. 27, is in its second year as an official rally event, and Sisemore says it's his favorite. As "an old rodeo guy," the idea of a bull riding event simply appealed to him, he explains. Again produced by Amped Up Pro Bull Riding, this year's competition will take place at 6 p.m. Sept. 27 at the Northwest Arkansas Riding Club adjacent to the Washington County Fairgrounds in Fayetteville. Tickets are $5 and include a post-show concert by Gus Robbins and Relentless. New this year is the World Class Wrestling Association's "Rumble Road," set for 6 p.m. Sept. 28 at Baum Stadium in Fayetteville. The WCWA formed in January as a wrestling school in Springdale, says founder and promoter Nathaniel Tatha-Nahandji, and started hosting shows in February. "Rumble Road" will bring to town the biggest names so far, he adds, among them Matt Sydal, formerly Evan Bourne from World Wrestling Entertainment; Juventud Guerrera from WWE; and WCWA trainer and pro wrestler Dusty Gold. Tickets are $10-$35 at WCWA on Facebook or stubs. net.

While not an official Bikes, Blues & BBQ event, the concert didn't have any trouble selling out.
