Jim Ferguson (Rolling Smoke) would be a good person to contact. He's put together a first class competition in Ohio in only two years. Learn from other peoples successes and don't try and reinvent the wheel or start out too big the first year.

I'm hoping we can participate in your contest.

I would definitely second the motion to contact Jim. He did an amazing job at his contest this year. Phillip would also be another great source of info.

Brethren thanks for the responses, ive talked to one fellow here, and will contact Phillip later on.
I had a meeting at Eagle Park today w/the park manager and things are falling into place very quickly.
I have talked with Theresa Munroe today and she is a huge library of information and she is on top of everything.
Thanks again for all your help.
Mike
