I live about 15 minutes away and didn't even know about this. I think I will have to atleast stop by. I have never been to a comp before.

Stop by for a cold one, or two or...... I hope we do better than Salsbury, but then we pretrty much would have to.

How was the public turnout? Did it draw a lot of local interest? Hope to be in this one next year.

Big Al and I got there yesterday morning about 10 - walked around and chatted with a few folks I knew, but ddn't get to meet any of the brethern.
The vendors were set up, and there was a big tent set up in the vending area with tables and chairs - very nice. There were some folks walking around then. By the time we left around 11:30 and the crowd was picking up.
From a general public standpoint it was nice - plenty of parking right near the event, facilities, a place to sit in the shade etc. Hope they have it again next year, will definately go.
Congrats to all who got a call.

 

[Pig Headed]

The organizers did a great job. I didn't get over to the vendors area but there seemed to be a pretty steady flow public walking through the comp area. The turnout was very good. I see this event growing and being even better next year. Congrats to Black Cat for GC and all who walked.

 

[Tiki Wolf]

Congrats to Black Cat! Great job! Congrats to everyone who walked. And that's to Ron for providing the shot.....certainly was an eye opener!

 

[White Dog BBQ]

Great job Black Cat!

Has Midnight Smokers not gotten first in brisket in any comps this year?

 

[Chipper]

Congrats to all Brethren who walked.

 

[slowerlowerbbq]

Like Ron said, there seemed to be a pretty good flow of people coming through...of course we were right next to them. But it seemed like a good weekend for our area with not much else going on. And the great weather helped as well as the ample parking. Let's hope this one takes off, it was a great event. Extra kudos to Ron and his team, Pigheaded BBQ, for helping get this one off the ground.:clap2: I dont think Vito...I mean, Mose could have done it without you.

I agree that Mose and crew did a fabulous job. I really liked the apple toast, country sausage and corn cakes from the Amish breakfast at the Dutch Country Market. Between breakfast and the MABA shot (Dogfish Head Honey Rum, thanks Pig Headed) I was fueled up for the day! Big congrats to Black Cat and Flying Porkers on the GC and RGC respectively. And as for that "little ol' team from Texas" (by way of Springfield VA) I am thinking I may need to get a new banner that provides the phonetic pronunciation of "Degüello". In our wildest dreams, we never imagined we'd get three calls in our second KCBS contest ever AND a third place overall. When Murray was reading chicken results and said what sounded like "Dugullo BBQ" I was sitting there thinking "man that kinda sounds like "Degüello BBQ". Then I realized "Hey that IS 'Degüello'"!!! As for the ribs.....well, we've got a month to work on them until the Safeway National Capital BBQ Battle. 124th out of 132 at Pork In The Park and 21st out of 42 at Middletown. At least we're headed in the right direction....:roll:
