I saw this on the KCBS event page. It's 15 minutes from us but we're already committed to the Sam's Local in South Bend, IN.

I've exchanged e-mails with the organizer and they have upgraded from a rib competition to a full, 4 meat KCBS competition this year.

$5000 prize pool. The entry fee is $200 which includes the entry fee, health department fee, water & electric and insurance.

Competitors are allowed to sell their meat.

The web site is being built, but some information is available at

http://www.ribsontheriver.com/

The application is available off of the web site or at this link...

We're committed to Sam's that weekend, too. Maybe next year... it's so close to home.

Sam's is always in your way Ron!!!

Damn, I might have to come out of semi-retirement. Especially now that all the local big hitters will be at Sam's..... :shock:

If you are interested in this competition, what are your thoughts on selling ribs (2 bones for $3) or any of your meat? They are trying to gauge the interest. They have had the backyard guys sell ribs in the past and it has gone well.

I couldn't see doing both selling and competing. To sell what we have left over, sure but to compete and have an idea of vending at the same time would be crazy.
