is Blowin Smoke!
Hey Guys!
I just got done talking to a friend of mine and we are going to be organizing a comp here in Chillicothe Ohio on a fruit farm with a MAJORLY HUGE orchard. They grow just about any type of fruit you can think of and the farm has basically been in the family since 1890. They have a retail store front for their fruit, cider and other "farmers market type" products at the site.
I want to organize this with the enjoyment of the cookers in mind and want to do the best job possible, so I will need all the help I can get.
I am posting pics of the venue and a link to the website for the venue as well.
The first thing I will need is a name for this comp.
"Smoke in the Orchard" came to mind but I know you guys can come up with something better than that.:-D
We are looking at mabey late May or early June for a date. Not set yet.
I welcome any and all comments, concerns and thoughts about the venue or things you would like to see in a comp.
We will have water and electric service from the white buildings that you see in the pics. Electric will be on 3 different outlets with each having a 20 amp breaker. Water will be through a hose running from the building. The building is where the press their own cider. They already have Porta Potties as you can see in the pics. The farm is about a mile or so south of Chillicothe on a well marked state highway. Shopping (Walmart,Krogers and most anything you would need) is roughly 3-4 miles away and not too hard to find. There are 3 or 4 decent hotels within 3-4 miles too. Ash, grease, gray water and trash disposal is not a problem. Walk in freezer to store ice for the cookers. LOTS of room to spread out.
Anyways, here are the pics and a link to the Hirsch Fruit Farm.
