To the Bros that did ** A Pretty Good Barbecue **

[BBQchef33]

Tonight is prom night.. I am catching up on posts and setting aside the work in the back room.

I have just read the thread from Pretty good Barbecue

Curt, Harbormaster, smokeandbeer, BBQ Bubba, Spydermike, chinesebob, ZBQ.... and I hope I didnt miss anyone. I have to say this in a separate post from your threads.

I am honored

I am proud

I am privileged

to be associated with guys like you. What you did at PGB epitomizes the Spirit of The Brethren. The sharing, the brotherhood, the blessing that can be brought to a family through a cloud of sweet blue.

You guys are great. What an awesome job and an unbelievable showing.. I'm happy when I put a smile on a single face, you guy did it for hundreds. i only wish I was able to make it to things like this around the country.... But until I become either retired, or hit the lottery.. I'm happy to live it thru guys like you.

From all of us here, thanks for what you did. :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

[n-2-que]

aye great job, for a great cause

[Harbormaster]

I knew going in that it was going to be a toss up whether the folks in Dayton would get the bigger blessing or if I would.

I WIN! I WIN!

What a spectacular bunch of guys I got to spend the weekend with!

Thank's Phil.
I think it was brought up over the scotch how you actually had a hand in all this! :twisted:
Were all here because of a lil mispelled word (snot mod) and without this forum, none of us would have ever had the chance to do this let alone hook up with such a GREAT group of people!!
Thank's again for all YOU do and have done! :wink:

[Patrick's BBQ]

I've said it before, this will mark a place in time for me forever. I learnd so much, I was blessed by so many, its just amazing.

All the guys in the pic were fantastic and even the ones that were not in the pic. Of course I had some chit given to me about the dang lighter fluid... Im tellin ya, it's just cologne...

Great bonding, breat blessing, great food, everything was just wonderful.

[Harbormaster]

FYI -
Since my church helped get down there to do this, they have asked that I let the congregation in on what happened.
I have printed some of the comments from all of you in the numerous threads and will read them at worship on Sunday.
The blessing we all got will spread to the people I love at my church!

[smokeandbeer]

Thank's Phil.

I second everything that Bubba said. It was a very emotional and reflective weekend for me personally, because I was able to combine my passion for Q with serving in God's name, meet some of the finest people I have ever met and cook up some great Q with them, as well as have my biggest buddy in the whole world by my side. With that I will post one more time (gratuitous mod) my favorite photo from the weekend (He was very proud of his new hat and 3rd place ribbon)...

Thanks to all who were there (you are the greatest bunch of guys I have had the privilege to serve with), Phil for giving us the vehicle that allowed us to not only meet but to serve those in need, Curt for having the vision and determination to put this together, and the entire Brethren crew for sending prayers to carry us through.

And Harbormaster, I look forward to seeing you again, so we can compare how powerful last weekend was to determine who the real winner was. I think I can give you a run for your money on that....:-D

I am also very proud of the brethren members who made the voyage to do an awesome thing for mankind.
I had a prior commitment which I did keep, but my heart was in Dayton Ohio with the group of folks who did make it. We educated 26 students into Hunters Saftey. This is what held me up from attending.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart for everyone who pulled off this amazing feat.
If things work out next year, I will attend and lend a hand.
God Bless all of you.

[biffleg]

Very well said Phil! Way to go brothers!

[MAB52]

Thanks for sharing your time!!
Thanks for sharing your talents!!!
Thanks for sharing your love!!
Thanks for sharing your faith!!
Thanks for sharing pictures!!
What a blessing!!!

It was a great time, but Patrick's BBQ username has to be changed to Cedar and Lighter Fluid. - It was unanimously decided at the bash.

Thanks Pooh

Yep, either that or Matchlite, I think we all about bum rushed him when we saw the lighter fluid (Yikes!!!) :shock::shock:

Just messing with you Patrick!!

[cmcadams]

I am still humbled that guys showed up to cook... And to set the record straight, we served 1250 sandwiches in under 45 minutes, 1400 cans of pop or bottles of water. The church does a Thursday breakfast, and they had well over 200 people for the first time, since a lot of the neighborhood found out about the church last Sunday. God's hand was in what we were doing, and you all handled the whole weekend so well. There will be a 2nd annual event next year; plan on the same weekend if you want to come. It will be bigger, badder, better and even more blessings will be seen.

[cmcadams]

And, Phil, lest I forget... It was the site that gave me the vehicle to get people together, but even more so, the great group of people here that allowed it to happen.

[Monty]

once again.. i salute all of you! well said phil.

[jestridge]

Thank for helping to spread God kindess around. not enough of that these days.

[MilitantSquatter]

Well said Phil !!!

Nice job guys !!!

[The Pigman]

Patrick if you go to kettring I may have to join you with that cologne.........

no lighter fluid allowed! :shock:

[Harbormaster]

God's hand was in what we were doing, and you all handled the whole weekend so well. I read some of the comments from the site here to my congregation on Sunday. They were thrilled with what they heard! There will be a 2nd annual event next year; plan on the same weekend if you want to come. It will be bigger, badder, better and even more blessings will be seen. I'm not done seeing the blessings from this one!

[WannaBeBBQueen]

You guys rock!! Great job!!:biggrin:
