Zoo-B-Que & Big Pig Gig

Papa Hogg · 01-30-2008, 12:10 PM

The Zoo-B-Que & the Big Pig Gig in WI have been scheduled the same weekend 9/19 & 20. The B.P.G has a bigger purse & about twice the amount of teams (30 vs. 60) competing (G.C. wins $6000 & they payout to 8th place in all categories) Z-B-Q paid I believe $3000.

I've recently been in contact with Marsha should I contact her to see about changing weekend to the following weekend? She told me that was their second choice when I spoke with her. I really want to compete in the Z-B-Q again this year, it's about 2 miles from my house & in a great setting. However more money at the B.P.G. has me interested & it is only about 30 miles from my home. I wanted to compete in both....

Thoughts & if any of the teams that competed in both last year want to chime in...

I've already contacted both of the organizers... If nothing else, do the contests as a Ironman, where we can do 2 different contests the same weekend...

Because of the size of the purse at Menomonee, it would kill Racine if they went head-to-head. IMHO at least...

I really wish that Zoo-B-Q didn't change the dates from July (2 years ago). We really wanted to do this, but coming from KC with 2 young girls in school is hard. My parents live in Kenosha so it would have been a 2 for 1 thing.

the first year, in July, it was really hot. So they wanted to try and get away from the heat... But, I wish it was July as well.

A comp cook, Dr. Porkenstein, will be opening his new BBQ place in Kenosha this weekend. I'm going to go up this weekend and visit with Alex and Kate to see their new place. It's called The Barbeque Factory.

Being from KC, we are used to doing comps in all different temps/weather. We or should I say Andy will do them in 4* & snowy/icy (I don't do this cold with 2 young girls, talk about going crazy!) up to 105* with heat index of 115*.
