Anyone ever been to the National BBQ Association Convention. It's in Nashville this year which is driving distance but it's $700 bucks so that's alot of double cheeseburgers......

Check out "Friends of OBR" on Facebook. They are having a BBQ expo for much less cost and close to you.

The only thing that holds me back from that is it is more geared towards Competition which we still do but are looking to branch out to catering and vending and more of the business side of it.

I think that is geared towards the vendors and suppliers. For all the classes you have to be registered. I just keep bouncing back and forth. Its a large chunk of change but I don't want to be naive and think I wouldn't learn 700 dollars worth of valuable knowledge.
