The Amazing Chase: Clues to the 3PM Chase Matthew Meet and Greet Passes

Good afternoon! The BBQ and Barrels Ticket Chase (otherwise known as 'The Amazing Chase') is now underway. Here at WBKR, we're giving you an exclusive chance- during Day #1 of the BBQ & Barrels festival in downtown Owensboro- to win meet and greet passes for country music star Chase Matthew, who will be taking the stage and closing down the festival on Saturday, May 9th on the front lawn of the Owensboro Convention Center.

Here's how it works. At the top of each hour this afternoon (3pm, 4pm, 5pm, 6pm, and 7pm), we're going to send your clues via the WBKR app. Those clues will guide you to a Flat Chase that's hidden somewhere (or on someone) at BBQ & Barrels. If you are the person who finds a Flat Chase, simply bring it to the WBKR tent in front of the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum. We'll hook you up with two meet and greet passes as well as two passes for the VIP area right in front of the stage Chase will be performing on Saturday night.

Now, before we get to your clues for the first Flat Chase (3PM), here are a couple of tips for deciphering our clues. I will tell you right up front. This isn't going to be easy. It's not designed to be. You're going to have to work for it. But keep these two things in mind:

1) Pay close attention to context clues.

2) Don't hesitate to use your phone. The internet exists for a reason.

3) If you're still looking at 3:45pm, you can visit the WBKR Command Post in front of the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum for a clue.

Now, let's get to it!

Here are your clues for the 3PM Flat Chase.

On your Mark (no relation to Shania), get set, GO!

“In compliance with the request of a friend of mine, who wrote me from the East, I called on good-natured, garrulous old Simon Wheeler, and inquired after my friend's friend, Leonidas W. Smiley, as requested to do, and I hereunto append the result.”

To win the first BBQ & Barrels Ticket Chase, it’s very important that you make your way to town.

When you think you have ‘sweetly smashed’ your way to the correct destination, be sure to ask for Darling, Glaser, Reed, or Hayden. 

Good luck!  And make sure you've enabled your push notifications on the WBKR app.
