For those of you that have sent PM's regarding my sledcast and thought it was real:shock::shock::shock: DOH!!! On another note. whenever you speak or write about the contest from here on out please refer to it as "The Battle":biggrin:

You SOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tricia is sitting here cursing - no F'en way are we sleeping onsite.

OK - now get us a REAL SledCast!

 

[BigBarry]

We didn't have the requisite interest in a competition with kids cooking, so we are turning things around and our Kids Q will be the competitors cooking kids.

It's a bit gruesome, yes, but it is right before Halloween.

Eric

If you would be willing to cook up a butt or two that is provided to you so that we can feed volunteers at the event, please let me know. Clearly there would be no expense and minimal effort for you.

Thanks!

Eric

Eric,
For planning purposes, what day would you need us to cook the butts? Also, who/where do we need to pick them up from?

As long as you let me know at the cooks meeting that you are willing, I will have someone deliver it right to you.

I will need some on both Saturday and Sunday, so if you were able to volunteer for either it would help.

Thanks,

Eric

 

[Frank Sacco]

Sweet deal, I think Saturday will work out best for us.

Eric,

I would love to cook some butts for you friday night. I plan on doing a test cook anyway.

Thaddeus

 

[motoeric]

So, who is in for the Potluck and what are you making.

I'm putting in an early request for Skippy Burgers.

If (and this is a big if) I have time, I'm going to make ABT's and maybe some other appetizer type of deal. If I do, I'll need space on someones grill or smoker On the other hand, I'm probably going to be crazy busy Thursday and Friday. Maybe I'll just buy some dessert type stuff.

Event Shirts

Hi,

The tee shirts for the event look pretty sweet. If those who aren't going to be able to attend would like to get one, let me know and I will try to get the Chamber to hold some on the side.

I believe that they will be $15.00 and they go up to 3x.

I'll try to post a picture asap.

Blazin Nuttz will be cooking up some grub. Not sure exactly what platter we're bringing at this point. Tomorrow afternoon we're having a team get together to make our final arrangements for the comp. More info to follow tomorrow night.

I have a few points in the freezer and I'm thinking about making burnt ends. We'll decide tomorrow for sure.

What time is the potluck? Will be pulling in around 8pm on Friday, and can maybe do some dessert, not sure if I'll be too late to take part. Got some setting up to do and want to get it done early before I crash. ex

Julie recommended an 8:00 start for dinner.

 

[motoeric]

8:00 pm is the turn in for the chili. That really shouldn't impact anyone too much. You might want to make it 8:15 for anyone who wants to compete or 8:30 or so if you want to include organizers or reps.
