I spoke with the organizer/PR person this afternoon.

The reason for the short time frame is that they just got the permits.
The event is not being sanctioned (at least as of right now).
They are long on ambition and short on knowledge. I offered to answer any questions that they may have, and he had a number that led me to believe that they aren't BBQ proficient.
It seems that they have a strong infrastructure and plenty of available space.

I'll let you know when I have more information.
