A fun, non sanctioned event in VA

[Brauma]

Hold on, now wait!! We cant be getting the organizer drunk... Can we? Oh what the hell. We'll get him sloshed!

[Bill The Grill Guy]

Okay folks, the date is set. July 18, 19, 20 in Louisa VA. This will be a non sanctioned get together/BASH/contest. All proceeds will benifit the local Fire Department.

The campground is equiped with water and electric at each of the sites so you can camp there or bring your camper and set it up close by.

Friday night will be the "Anything Butt" contest with the campground owners and some of the Officers from the Fire Department being the judges. Anything goes here guys. Break out your "A" game and impress the judges on site.

We will be doing Butts and Ribs on Saturday for the campers to judge around 4pm. I think that my folks will be suppling most of the meat like they did last year.

Peoples Choice will be the method of judging. Each camper will be given 2 tickets. One for Ribs and one for Butts. When they find the one they like the most, they put thier ticket in that teams jar. The one with the most tickets wins. (Dont worry guys, I am not competing this year.)

I did post this idea over on another forum and there are several interested in attending. The post on the other forum is: http://www.bbq-4-u.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12441

Looks like a few new faces are going to make the treck. For reservations, contact: (www.smallcountry.com) or call 540/967-2431 and tell them you are with the BBQ teams.

I was there at last years event and plan on being at this years as well. It's a great time and a great place to have it. There's big lake too with big fish!

Okay guys, I am a bit confused here.

I'm in. BeerGuy & I have talked about participating in the comp.

Who all is interested? Lets get a good crowd worked up for this Bash.

So is there interest in turning this into a BBQ Brethern Bash or what? Come on guys, its not too early to plan ahead. Who would like to attend?

[Brauma]

There may be a little confusion here. Maybe its just too far off for people to be into it yet. I don't know.

There was a thread talking up a Mid-Atlantic Bash. Then we revived this thread. Maybe that caused some confusion. Maybe there is little interest. I hope not.

Do yall think we should start a new thread about a July Mid-Atlantic Bash?

[Bill The Grill Guy]

Okay guys, we can Bash and Compete all at once. Please mark your calander. We will be KCBS sanctioned by 2009.

I will know more after the weekend. We are getting together to set up our comp events, and wish lists.

Yours is on our list... so far it looks ok.

Bill

[Bill The Grill Guy]

Brauma and Beer guy. It will be great to meet you guys there. Here is the link for the team application form http://billthegrillguy.tripod.com/queandcruz/id14.html.

We jumped up to the 4 KCBS categories, Chicken Ribs Pork and Brisket. Due to the Health Department, each team will have to supply thier own meats for this contest. I have the Fire Department cooking for the crowd.

I am trying to get this sanctioned by MABBQA and thats what they require.

Alright Bill. It will be great to see you again too.

The boss and I have been talking it over. It looks like we will make a mini-vacation out of it and spend a couple of extra days. Just not real sure how many. Hopefully we can get the application in before too long.

My dad called last night. He said some guy named Bill called to make reservations. That wouldn't have been you would it?

10-4, that would be the one... I didn't make the reservations, I was asking some general questions, and about bringing our lab. I told him we were thinking of a mini-vacation etc. He also told me not to reserve it on line, as they have a block of spots reserved just for the event and to call them directly.

So, with all of that said, yes we are planning on being there, but reservations not made yet.

See ya all there....
