Pork in the Park Salisbury, Md nearing 100 teams

This will be out second year at this comp. As long as they get the water situation (1 outlet everyone shares) resolved, it should be another great weekend.

I hope the weather is nice!!!

Our first time there and first comp of the year... Can't wait!!!!!

WOW! That'sa HUGE field! Good luck everyone!

Knowing the organizer will do whatever she can to continue to make "Pork in the Park" a success, called and spoke with her this evening and explained the concerns teams have about water access. She thanked me and is going to call the parks department tomorrow and advise more connections are necessary. We also discussed placing containers on carts and coming to the teams with water. After she speaks with the parks department she is going to email me and advise what steps will be taken to remedy the concerns. I’ll post as soon as possible and have total confidence she will make it work.

BTW, there are now 94 teams:icon_smil

Yep, 55 teams 3 years ago and that was my first contest. Almost doubled. I remember that well, one team took 3 1sts, haven't seen that since.

She said she wanted 100 teams and it looks like she'll get them. I'm confident the water issue will get worked out. I'm just hoping for dry weather (and warm temps!).
I've already started to pack the trailer.

We got put off all on our own (opposite side of the volleyball court) last year and had 4 hose connections right beside us. :redface:

Of course, we had to smell the "port-o-johns" to get that spot. :icon_bugeyed

honestly, we had no issues with water, or anything, at all.
Bring a coupla water jugs.

We are starting to pack the trailer too... and I have my $20 rib 'donation' all ready . . .

We decided to wait till this weekend to pack. Half of my stuff is at the house and the other half somewhere between the store room, work, and in the trailer, so it'll be a full day event.....

I thought you guys had a great spot - plenty of room to spread out no noisy neighbors - didn't even think about the aroma.

Well, I see that Sandy came through and straightened out the water situation. That's why this is such a good event, they go out of their way to make everyone happy.

I only ever get a couple hours sleep at a comp because of watching the pit, prepping stuff for the morning, etc... Everytime I would almost doze off, someone would let the crapper door slam. LOL On the other hand, my teammate got in his truck and slept all night. (so it must have not been too bad once you fell alseep) LOL (but he did have Miller Lite assistance)

Exactly:-D

When I talked to Sandy on Friday she said they were almost at 100 teams. They are slow to put them up on the web site. We will be there. Please stop by and say hi. We are The District of Cloumbia Fire Department Firefighting BBQ Team.

Be Safe
