Grab your leisure suits and platform shoes. KC and the Sunshine Band will be the featured performer for this year's Brunswick Rockin' Stewbilee, Oct. 17 and 18 in downtown Brunswick. The popular 70s band performed such disco classics as, "Shake Your Booty" and "Get Down Tonight." 

According to Stewbilee sponsors, this year's event is being expanded to two days, kicking of Friday night with the KC and the Sunshine Band concert, followed by fireworks, in Mary Ross Partk. Saturday's events will include a 5K run, kids' games, March of Dimes walk, pet parade, arts and crafts and an antique car show.

The centerpiece, as always, will be the Brunswick Stew cookoff. Teams, representing area hotels, restaurants, institutions and organizations, will compete for the honor of producing and serving the "Best Brunswick Stew" in judged and people's choice competitions. 

Organizers expect up to 3,000 people for the Friday concert and up to 7,000 for Saturday's stew-tasting and activities. For more information about the Brunswick Rockin' Stewbilee, visit www.brunswickstewbilee.com.
