Contest Announcment Marietta, OH Brick Street BBQ June 6th-7th

Yes, it has been posted on the KCBS web site, and at this time only has 2 teams registered...that is until this week, when the proclamation will be in their hands! I spoke with the contest organizers today, and they will be advertising the proclamation once they get it in their hands. I let them know that I will do what I can do to make sure that the contest will not fail...i.e., spread the word and try to get teams to respond.

I initially had trouble getting much information, but, once I got through to the "right" person, I was able to get some more information about the status. So, if you are near SE Ohio and looking for a first year contest to attend, that will be a State of Ohio Championship, please get in touch with me, and I will point you in the direction. They are trying, but, they were just not sure how to go about the advertising......

Information about who I spoke with this morning follows......I think that their initial impression was that the other team registered was going to do some of the PR for them, and I have no idea who he even is......hoping now that there is a gov support behind it, and a state championship that there will be more of a flow to the event....heck, it will be the 4th contest of the year for me by then....so, hoping that I have the kinks ironed out by then.....
Now, on the other hand, with Trotwood not getting a state championship....may have to drop that one and head up to WI for the customized golf cart instead....I mean, bikers, bikes, and bbq, and that combo in conjunction with libations....should be a great time!

As we have been talking about it, today I got my packet in the mail. The layout seems to be pretty decent, good sized sites, volunteers on site to greet, the antiques road show will also be there....how can you turn down antiques? Hope that they get the information about the state championship status in their hands within a couple of days, then all things will be on hand...minus the other 13 teams.....
I will at least contact the Shigs to get them out...they just love coming to Ohio to take titles......
