Actually, Myron's the one who told me about it. He's planning to come up and compete.

Entry is $200, plus a little extra for any of the ancillary categories you may want to do Sunday.

Email Kristen kmurphy@thegalecompany.com for an application.
 
Dropped my check in the mail this morning. No one else wants to come and play that weekend? Princeton is only 90 minutes from Long Island and they sell beer!
 
I thought about going just to do ribs and chicken and drink. The smaller backyard comp we were hoping to do this summer got merged into the Yardley event so it would be nice to replace it with something like this. Maybe we could even hook up with someone who wants to concentrate on the bigger stuff.

Hey Willie. If you do this one, will you do the whole deal (as in whole hog too)?
Do you have a regular (or irregular) bunch of guys you normally compete with?
Why do I have the feeling I'm setting you up to ask you out? :icon_smil
 
Kirk yes barfly myself and one-eyed-fred we will be doing everything so if you would like to cook with us you are more then welcome. If you would like to take care of some of the other stuff you can and for that matter anyone who would like to go down with us your more then welcome. maybe we can divide all the turn-ins amongest brethren
 
How much is it to enter?
Do you have to enter all categories or you can pick the ones you want? MIM is completely foreign to me, Ray
 
the entry fee varies by the size of the space it starts at $200 and goes up from there. no you do not have to enter all categories but you have to do whole hor shoulder and ribs to win grand champion

Intersting..., very interesting. I have to make sure the calendar's clear before I can commit but that sounds like a lot of fun. I also want to make sure that there will be plenty of drinking and cigar smoking. If not, forget it. :-D
I thought this would be a good idea because I have no idea when I'm going to be able to make it back out to LI for a bash. This one's only about a 1/2 hr from my place so I'll definately se what I can do.
