Competitions in Southern California?

[Smoothsmoke]

Are their any upcoming competitions in the L.A. area?

[Desert Dweller]

Contact Thom Emory, BigMista, Big Brother Smoke, C Rocke, Ross in Ventura....
These are all SoCal Brethren and may have info for you, try PMing them.

Go to CBBQA, California BBQ Assoc. website for that info. Great site with alot of the locals that frequent the Brethren site as well.

[Smoothsmoke]

Thanks fellas, will do.

[ThomEmery]

LA is not a hotbed for contests
I have one in Hesperia coming up
The CBBQA site will fill you in

[Professor Salt]

Thom's contest in Hesperia is the next one that's reasonably close to L.A. Very gusty winds up in the high desert and cold as chit overnight at last year's.

The next local one that's firmly on the calendar is in June in Costa Mesa, http://www.quenforkids.com/

See you on CBBQA.

This one I know about, but wow, 6 months away. It's a shame that their aren't that many comps around this area. Thanks

When looking for contests think driving 3 to 4 hours

[Bigmista]

Hesperia, Costa Mesa, Bakersfield, Lancaster, Wildomar, Indio, Alpine.

Those are all of the So Cal contests that I know of. Did I miss any?

[Ryan Chester]

In addition to the ones BigMista mentioned I believe the Vista Smokin Q Classic/Rod Run in San Diego is on again. Hope to see you out there PitBully!

[ThomEmery]

I hear Alpine is gone, no
correction Alpine has not decided about the 2010 contest


Yes Vista is back for 2010

[ThomEmery]

[Gene01]

we will also have a contest in Orange County and at Harras casino in north San Diego Escondido is with a BB King concert included in entry fee...Alpine should be on..... several more to be added soon, possibly 2 more in San Diego maybe another in OC and another in La..........

[ThomEmery]

Sounds great The sport is growing

[big brother smoke]

LA and OC is mo betta!

[Alexa RnQ]

Gene, we will go anywhere and do anything to see B.B. King!!! We start every cook with "Days of Old" and "Riding with the KING"!

[Ryan Chester]

LA and OC is mo betta!

Yes sir.

[Funtimebbq]

According to their website, BB King is scheduled to perform at Harrah's Rincon on Sat., August 14th. Should a contest actually happen, that would be my guess as to the date.

[Alexa RnQ]

That would be up against Fairfield, then. Hmmmm.... one contest vs. two contests vs. travel time and gas... that'll be an interesting equation.

[ThomEmery]

Yep going to happen more and more as the sport grows

[TOPS BBQ]

Vista & Alpine are my favorite SoCal events. Of course, I have never been to Costa Mesa which I hear is a great one as well. Bakersfield is pretty good, but that's not really SoCal.

Alexa - Why wouldn't you want to travel all the way to Fairfield? I mean the nice cool breeze in your face is just wonderful.:roll:

[Alexa RnQ]

A fresh breeze, a fountain -- what more could you want? http://www.divaherself.com/funny/shiner.gif
