My goodness Fred, you beat me to the punch! That snow of over a foot here a couple of days ago has just slowed me down.
As of today, it is 27 days til our competition and snow will be gone - already mostly melted and supposed to be in 70's this coming week.
We are Knights of Columbus raising money for Special Olympics.
As Fred said, we have a lot going on : great contest with the top tier of KCBS competitors plus all the teams that compete against them week in and week out ;
world class Blues Fest; Kids Q ( see the article in this month's Bullsheet); all the events Fred mentioned; plus a 5k run for the health conscious.
Besides level sites of either asphalt or grass, EZ and close connections to water and electricity, and cheap ice - there is a free cooks breakfast on Sat morning hosted by our KC pancake breakfast team.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We have enhanced our prize package of $ 10,000 pay to 10th place in the categories by collaborating with USA BBQ Championship in Laughlin NV in Nov.
The Grand Champ of Smokin in Steele will get a free entry into the USA BBQ Championship plus free hotel room at the host - Riverside Casino.
USA BBQ Champ is a Smoke on the Water contest offering $ !00,000 in prize money
plus their grand champ gets a new truck!
Don Laughlin, owner of Riverside Casino and developer of Laughlin NV was born and raised here in Steele County. It is thru his generosity and the generosity of Ron Cates
from Smoke on the Water that we are able to offer this extra prize.
That free entry and hotel room is in addition to our cash, invitation to the American Royal Invitational and a bung to be MN rep at the Jack for our 2013 Grand Champ.
We limited our teams to 70 this year and we are already more than half full.
