Posted — UpdatedThe annual Crime Stoppers Barbecue is a draw in itself by Friday at lunch, when cars line up to pick up plates piled high with pulled pork, rolls, potato salad and cole slaw. They expect to hand out 2,400 plates and raise about $10,000.
Volunteers cook and serve for hours, and the proceeds from each $7 plate go into the pool that Crime Stoppers uses to reward those who help to solve crimes.
Later, the festival kicks into gear with concerts, a street fair with arts and crafts, food vendors, and a midway full of rides.
WRAL will have a booth at the festival, too.
Here's a schedule of when to meet your favorite reporter:
Greg Fishel 3-6 p.m.
Bryan Mims 3-6 p.m.
