Roll Call. Inside 30 days. Palmerton PA, Oct 9, 2010 Rock'n Ribfest

OK, keep me posted. I dropped the idea last night and looked at some hotels.
 
Check out Mooney's for lodging, small place off the beaten path very clean and reasonable. Larger hotels may be booked solid.
 
OK, I'm coming. Looks like I'll bring the family and am booking a room nearby for Friday night then may stay Saturday as well so we're not rushed getting home. The 5 hour trip home from Seaside Heights Sunday night was too much.

Let me know when ya'll know turn-in times, garnish rules, box rules and anything else worthwhile. Chili doesn't count towards GC does it?
 
Chili, doesn't counttowards the GC, and the cooks packet will be going out this evening.

We will be hanging out all weekend as well.
Feel free to bring your equipment over to the mountain on friday night.

I should. Will probably take some of the cookers out. The biggest problem though is that you'd be in the car with the three kids for the whole ride and it can get hairy. I'm hoping to leave around 3ish on Friday.

Now I got to see if WATG George can bring me his lucky chili pot to borrow.

Just dropped my check in the mail. I know we can drop our stuff off Friday but is it ok to stay onsite? I may want to leave the car with my wife at the hotel so she and the kids can come over later versus getting up at 6am.

Hey Clint,
You absolutely can stay on-site Friday Night. The Mountain is providing free camping and firewood for all the teams that want to camp out….Dana and I will be there with the wives most of the night as well tilting a few back.

Thanks for coming out...it's gonna be a great time.
 
Going to be judging this one. Not sure how many of the judges will be KCBS certified. I'm guessing there will be some of us certified.
