It's been moved to Maryland this year.

Red Lion will be there. And we will be bringing back the giant pig.

That much I know :-) We did Go Naked earlier this year and were... underwhelmed. Same organizer, so we're concerned. (The other option for us is Shenandoah.)

We have been at the Smoketoberfest comp the past two years and can attest that it is a top notch competition. I have yet to do the Go Naked comp, but that's like comparing apples to oranges. Somketoberfest is well run and well organized.

Based on the email I got, this year is looking like it may be the best yet. From the email...

Hey there BBQ'ers!

Sorry it has taken this long, but it's official - the last, best (OK
that's subjective!) competition in the Mid-Atlantic is
on....*_Smoketoberfest 2012 IS BACK BABY!

_*After a great 3 year run at Rhodes Grove Camp and Conference Center in
Chambersburg, PA, we decided that the event had grown out of that venue
and we began searching for a new home. It took a while and some back
and forth haggling with permits, TSA, FAA, and various other governing
bodies...but we found a new home at the Hagerstown Regional Airport! A
great, small local airport, we will be taking over one of the runways
and setting up a bigger, badder competition for 2012! Amongst other new
things, we are having a fly-in as part of the event and small aircraft
from around the country will be flying in and taking off all
day...offering free rides to kids! Pretty cool stuff!

As with tradition, all proceeds from Smoketoberfest will go directly to
the Make-A-Wish Foundation to grant wishes for local children with life
threatening and life altering illnesses. We have been able to raise
over $45,000 in the past three years and hope to do more this year!

This year there will be an expanded vendor area as we are including an
Arts Festival as a part of the event. We will also have a bigger Kidz
Zone and music will play a much bigger part of Smoketoberfest as we have
partnered with BigBob 101.5, WAYZ Country 101.7, and NOW 92.1. There
will be a free concert for all teams on Friday night with a "known" band
- yet to be determined.

Always a concern in the past, Smoketoberfest 2012 will have a Beer Tent
on-site and alcohol rules will be greatly relaxed compared to previous
events. Red cup policies will be encouraged, but alcohol is no longer
taboo at Smoketoberfest!

We are now a MD State Championship and a qualifier for all the big
comps! Also, as in year's past, if you register for Smoketoberfest and
happen to get into the Jack (OCT 27th) or qualified for the Sam's Club
Final (OCT 13th) and need to practice or are too tired to come, we will
be happy (OK, not happy...but understanding) to refund your entry fee to
Smoketoberfest.

We are currently working to get the website up to speed, but in the
meantime, I thought I would send out apps to all the teams who have
competed in the past or expressed interest in competing. Please feel
free to call me at the store if you have any questions or concerns!

Thanks.

Have a great day.

- Eric
