We are VERY sorry that so many of the local teams will miss our contest. Mark your calendar for next year July 11, 12, 13. - we plan to be the first full weekend (including Friday) after the fourth of July.

We also had a planning meeting today, looking at possible vendors, possible sponsors, and some complimentary activities. A couple of suggestions (since it is at Charlestown Mall) - Carnival, Live Bands, Helicopter rides, hot air balloon rides, and who knows what else. These aren't guaranteed but things we are looking into.

If you are following us on facebook - we're open to suggestions for vendors, sponsors and activities.

We may also have opportunities for you with other events that we are involved with planning - reach out for more information.

It was confirmed yesterday, this is the weekend after we do the Sam's club in Traverse City, MI which will probably end up being 3 days gone, We are OUT for sure (as of now). . . Couple of good showings might change that thinking.

FirinUpTheFox · 03-07-2013, 01:50 PM

In talking with our KCBS Rep - we're probably going to limit to 48 teams, unless demand is significantly higher.

cmohr74 · 03-27-2013, 07:00 AM

I have to say for me I'm pretty excited about this competition. This contest to me has memories and it's close to home. This was my first KCBS competition ever and I managed to get 2 walks, finished in the top 1/2 and took rookie of the contest. Scottie came over to help set me straight on a few things and as I was in the middle of getting things prepped Friday night, who came over to stop by and say hi...Dr. BBQ. His was the first BBQ book I bought, so this was an awesome surprise for me. Despite the rough start this contest thread, I for one, Kevin, am looking forward to it.
