A BBQ Brethren Event/PA BBQ @ the Beach State Championship - Raystown, PA Sept. 17-19th"

[Scottie]

Very nice Poobah.

[Smokin Turkey]

Thanks everyone! Go BIG or Go Home right? I am one to want to do all I can to help out the brethren and what Phil does as well as get more people into BBQ and what real BBQ is. People here think its opening a bag of potato chips which is why the working name on this event during development was "WTH is BBQ?" which I think we should still title our classes which are open to the public.

We are asking teams if they would like to put on a 30-45 min "class" on BBQ for everything from how to build a UDS, recipe demos, and basic BBQ knowledge classes. Even if people dont have a "PIT" they could do something in the oven or a gas grill. We can get all purist next year when we have people slightly knowledgeable as well as talking here on the forums. I ordered my Brethren banner to put on my RV which will be in the middle of the COMP area to further show this is the place to share ideas and knowledge.

The teams will have the ability to be more open with the public at our event where we welcome people to walk around and talk with the teams and buy your tee shirts, bbq rubs/sauces, and small children

If there is anything I can be doing, please let me know. I am scheduled to meet the meat supplier next week to talk packages and onsite delivery so please let me know if you have input. I already posted the packages I am suggesting to the butcher along with individual prices of meats for people who either don't need it all or need more of each event.

THANKS!

Though I am not yet worthy of competition.... I would be interested in being someones pit biatch. That way I can help and learn (and hopefully partake of some liquid refreshments).

I assume there are camping sites available?

Thanks,

Ted

Ok - Right now we have 2 teams with registrations in. We have 18 teams who have promised us to come. After talking to a couple teams, we understand why we don't have more applications with money being tight, the comp still being 2.5 months away and the teams still having fees for other comps., we understand. Just chalk our nervousness up to being new event hosts! lol. We really look forward to giving a great event and catering to the teams.


If you are coming, please post up here to let other know. I will be posting pictures of the awards very shortly. I will begin working on these as soon as early next week.

I'm doing a short demo and food tasting at this tuesday's wake up reception taking place at the visitor's center. It's open to everyone so if you are in the area, stop over! I'll be doing some wings in the new pit for sampling.

It's 930-1030am.

Not sure if I fully answered people asking earlier - Yes there are campsites nearby and actually on the grounds of the 7 points recreation area. You can make reservations at the following link - http://raystown.nab.usace.army.mil/C...oints_camp.htm

If you have any questions, you can feel free to contact myself via PM although it's safe to ask here, or you can call Ed Stoddard at 888-RAYSTOWN x11. He is my partner in setting this up.

Thanks!

Sal - we doing a seafood boil at this comp? I've been thinking of netting a bunch of crayfish here locally for my own boil! lol. That greenlane boil last year has been craving another!
