Roll Call. Inside 30 days. 22nd Annual BBQ on the Bow

[bigdaddyvalckx]

Sorry for the last minute nature of this...busy with work and all.

This weekend, August 30-31 in Calgary, AB, will be the 22nd Annual BBQ on the Bow. Sanctioned by KCBS, we are Canada's oldest sanctioned BBQ competition.

This year, we're pleased to have over $10,000 in cash prizes, we are an American Royal Qualifier, a 2014 Jack Draw Qualifier (last one of the year, I think), and a World Food Championship BBQ qualifier! We are also very pleased to announce that we will have 100% certified BBQ judges.

New this year will be a Kids Q and our ever-popular Chef's Challenge: Battle Pork Loin, sponsored by Alberta Pork.

We're sitting at 34 teams, with room for a couple more. If you're interested, head over to www.bbqonthebow.com and register. We also have loaner equipment available for teams from out of town, just let us know.

This was, for the first 18 years, a great PNWBA comp but, alas, all good things must come to an end. This is a compact venue, the spaces are small and the HD over protective. Did this contest for many years and found the people very cooperative and had some great times (the Calgary Sheraton has a great bar and rooms). Not sure that the "KCBS Qualified" once a year judges and reps are any better than the off the street judges but with that in mind, your expectations should be met.
