With a full field each day, we will have approximately $11,000 in prize money. Grand and Reserve Grand Trophies will be awarded for each contest. Category trophies will be awarded through 10th place for KCBS, and 5th place for NEBS Wide Open Grilling.

New for 2010 is People’s Choice
Saturday’s People’s Choice will feature Pulled Pork (provided) – 3:00 pm -4:00 pm
Sunday’s People’s Choice will feature Chicken Wings (provided) – 3:00 pm-4:00 pm

The Public will purchase a card in exchange for 8 samples. Each card purchased will allow them to cast one vote for their favorite. The number of cards sold will be determined by the number of participants. Participating teams will receive the raw meat and plastic cups to serve samples. While serving the sample, teams should write their team name in the box on the card indicating a sample has been served. Teams will collect their own vote tickets, and will be picked up at 4pm. The 3 teams with the most number of tickets will be declared the winners at the award ceremony, and will be awarded prize money and trophies. There is no cost to teams to participate, and service to the public will be limited to 1 hour. This contest is being run as a fundraiser for the Patchin Fire Company. Your participation is encouraged and very much appreciated.

Back by popular demand - the VIP Wristband. Throughout the weekend, we invite you to responsibly enjoy the various adult beverages on tap at either Porky’s Pen or Petunia’s Pub. Teams with children will also receive a few complimentary ride tickets courtesy of the event.

This is a family event, and we encourage you to bring yours. This is an action packed weekend that includes live performances of entertainers, rides, acclaimed musical acts, and a professional fireworks show to cap off the weekend.

Team Entry Forms are located below. I am in charge of organizing the teams, and my complete contact information is on the Team Entry Form.

The Judges Registration Form is also located below. David and Eileen Bunn are handling the responsibility of seating judges, so please remit any correspondence directly to them. Their contact information is on the Judges Registration Form located below.

Again, thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of the event in 2009. We look forward to another great year, and count on your support to make this a premier event on the KCBS Contest Circuit.

Early registrations fees apply through May 25th, so get those applications in!

Looking forward to being part of a great contest, in a very friendly town....I still have to look up the 2 staties who volunteered to run boxes and have a beverage or two........
 
We'll be there to defend the title! :twisted:

And those state troopers were great! What a fun crew. Too bad the Troopette was a vegetarian! Those two will make up for her, I have a feeling... but all great people.

First class event. Esp when the Fire Chief runs the coldest tap in the place... Seasonal Summer Brew!!! Brendan and I had him all to ourselves! Almost our own private beer tent...
 
After the great time last year...we wouldn't miss it!!! Expect our application soon.
 
Swamp Pit will be there, by far one of my most favorite events!! Don't miss this one!
 
Fear the Shaker, and I mean, REALLY fear the shaker.......look forward to seeing you all since I am going to be missing out on Rochester.....

My assignment does not end until the Saturday that is Roc City....but, I should be able to get in about 6 contests or so, attend the Plowboys class, and hopefully get to go down to Dallas to pick up the Jambo......it is going to be a great time regardless......
 
Was waiting for this one to be posted. Looking forward to returning to the site of our first call.
 
Thanks for the kind words of support and interest!

UPDATE: Its currently 18 degrees F with blowing winds and drifting snow!
 
Our website manager apparently spends time on this forum, and was reviewing the Roc City thread. Specifically, the part about my shorts. So, he consulted the rest of the Committee, and they decided it would be funny to update the website with a tab - Vote for Mike's Shorts. And how convenient - I don't have access to make any changes to the site.

Anyway, the website is updated with the current schedule, bands, forms, etc. And of course, an opportunity to vote for or against my shorts. Paybacks are hell, JP. :)
