I posted this in the other thread as well
For what it's worth, the following cookoffs are scheduled for the same weekend: KCBS - Shawnee, OK 371 miles away and will draw most of the OK crowd IBCA - Ennis, TX 137 miles and just south of Dallas Wills Point, TX 172 miles and just east of Dallas Bossier City, LA 191 miles Corpus Christi, TX 276 miles and will draw from Houston and south Geronimo, TX 185 miles and will draw from Houston and west Did not see any Lone Star or Texas Gulf Coast scheduled for that weekend yet. It's 188 miles for me to Shawnee and 189 miles to Huntsville. Which one I attend will depend on the Reps selected and prize money. Just saying There's a potential for the Sam's Club events to conflict as well. Last edited by Smoke'n Ice; 06-06-2013 at 07:28 PM.. Reason: Last sentence about attending |

Saw the other thread first. We are working on getting this event proclaimed a State Championship. Hope to draw teams from that as well as it being close to Houston.

Thats awesome! Fred was a friend of mine and I still miss seeing him around the comps in the Mid-Atlantic.
Might have to see if I can bum some equipment and get out there for this one.

I wish I could have met him. I cooked for the banquet to raise awareness of the scholarship, in his name, and to let people know about the cook off. The way people talked about him during their speeches seemed like he was one hell of a man.

The organizers will be signing the contract, tomorrow morning, to use the Walker County Fairgrounds for the cook off. It has 92 40' x 40' sites with water and 15 amp power service.

I just got an e-mail from KCBS that the sanctioning for the cook off has been officially approved. Also, since it is a first year contest, as long as 15 teams cook all four catagories the event will be a qualifier for the American Royal and the Jack Daniel's, if we can get the state proclomation. Some folks from SHSU are talking about having a CBJ class at Sam this October too. I'll keep posting more info as we go.

The oraganizers told me yesterday that the fliers and applications will be ready to start sending out next week. I will have some more news to report in the next day, or two, about the payout. It's going to be a pretty good "Guaranteed" payout. If you would like to be added to the mailing list you can email me at [email protected] and I will pass it on to the organizers. Thanks Guys!

The organizers of the Shotgun Fred BBQ Showdown called me tonight and said they are going to GUARANTEE a $10,000 payout at the cook off next March. They will have a breakdown of the payout next week. Also, the entry fees will be $300, for your four meats, before January first and $350 after the first. If you haven't already sent me your address or email address you can do so at [email protected]
