I've been asked several times so just as an FYI, Stan and I are working on trying to get this thing going again in Pleasant Hill for 2009. Stan is working to get a new benefactor lined up to replace the Brain Injury Association. We already have a proclamation and let KCBS know we're planning to keep it on the schedule for the same week as it was this year (first weekend in April). It should be on the schedule by January or early February, once we get the sanctioning paperwork (easy) and fee (a little work) to KCBS. We'll keep you posted. Thanks.
 
Will this be considered a second year contest or first year since your first year in PV was with Brain Injury Association from Columbia, MO.
 
I heard that they were picking up there toys and going to play in columbia again. As that is where they are from. That is what I heard in the wind.

I am pretty sure Jeff will find a Great worthy new new benefactor for the Pleasant Hill for 2009. I have see this man do many awesome things in the last few years I believe he can pull it off in 09. I for one will be there to support his contest this year. Roll on brother.
 
Thanks for the kind words, Scotty but Stan is the one currently working with an organization that his company supports as a charity and we think we have a good shot at it. LOL! I guess if no one wants our money, we can find something to do with it.

Todd, I'm not sure but I'm guessing second year contest. Either way, we fully expect to get around 50 teams anyway. We hope we proved ourselves to teams last April and that no one will hesitate to give Pleasant Hill another shot.

Chris, the BIA-MO is still operating and that's a good thing! Many families in Missouri need their services. Our connection to the organization, though, was ended after the contest in April. As they covered our cost of sanctioning and provided the certificate of liability insurance, we are looking for another organization who wil do the same and get involved with Stan, me and all our volunteers.

Hey Steph, the Dodge Boys PMed me and told me they need a break from you guys and asked if you could be put out by the creek. :twisted:
 
I think you can count us in this year too. Hopefully the Q'chen will be ready to go.
 
The Pickled Pig will be there but Mokan needs to supply a new cardboard escort for entertainment purposes.
 
I think we got a little closer to a charity today. Hope to have it wrapped up this week. Will be getting the sanctioning fee in the next day to two to Jeff.

We will let everyone know.
 
Jeff,
Will your contest have a sausage or open category, or is it just the standard four meats? Missed it last year, but planning on coming this year.
 
If you are looking for a charity to benefit... you might also talk to Craig Kidwell or Steph about possibly providing some of the monetary love to Kookers Kare.
 
Jeff...Glad to here this, last years event was a lot of fun...Although this year I'll probably be cook'in...J

We weren't sure last year what to expect and extra categories means extra fees to KCBS. With fewer entries in these other categories, not sure we could make it worthwhile to teams. We will definitely have people's choice again this year. It was a HUGE hit in town. Problem was we didn't have enough meat turned in to cover the public's attendance! Will maybe do it a little differently this year and definitely change at least one category. Last year, it was wings and brisket. Will probably change to wings and pulled pork as pork is cheaper and will allow teams to bring more. Plus since we allowed brisket to be cooked prior to arriving for people's choice, pork reheats nicer IMO if we switch to that. And I believe it goes farther.
 
I like that with the pork!

Is the wind going to blow from the south, west or north that weekend? I'd like to request a spot that has our back to the wind.

thanks
