2nd Comp with my Daughter (Black Diamond, WA) Lots of pics!

[FamilyManBBQ]

Second competition with my daughter this past weekend. While we had a GREAT time we didn't have much luck with the judges. In fact, I found myself a little depressed. That is, until I downloaded these pics, and remembered why I really do this...spending time with my little bbcutie!! :-D

Here are some pics of our fun:

Thank goodness Katie worked so hard on the sausage entry (she really did do most of the work on this one). Our only chance to walk (3rd place!!).

I really missed not cooking Black Diamond this year and sad that is was scheduled the same weekend as Birch Bay, because they are both great family friendly events-so sorry to hear Katie was not able to sway the judges-but the thing about Black Diamond is it draws the experienced CBJ's out and they are very good, so take the comment cards and get ready for Chehalis and Duvall!! Katie will have a blast!
Nice pics Chris! Give me a call!

Oh, no doubt, you WON! Congrats to both of you.
