CULLMAN, Ala. – St. Bernard Prep School on Sunday declared the 2020 “Bernard Blues and BBQ” festival to be a success. While attendance will not challenge any records, planners said that the numbers were satisfactory, given the challenges coming from COVID-19.
Event Coordinator Joyce Nix told The Tribune, “We had a good, steady crowd both days. It seemed to be a buying crowd. Everyone really observed the mask (policy) and kept their distance, so, you know, we had a good weekend. All out, a little windy on Sunday, a little cool, but it was perfect, a great way to finish out the fall and get ready for the holidays!”

The festival concluded with a drawing for monetary prizes ranging from $100 to $5,000. Amelia Neece, daughter of St. Bernard alumnus Richard Neece, did the honors, drawing tickets for Fr. Joel Martin and Nix to announce.
