I think I've about nailed our's down now:

April 11-12: Osage city, KS
May 2-3: St. Joseph, MO
May 23-25: Great American BBQ
June 13-14: Sedalia, MO
June 27-28: Still deciding between Marshalltown, Boonville or Cameron (open suggestions as to pros and cons of each)
Sept 5-6: Blue Springs, MO
Sept 19-20: Kearney, MO
Oct 10-11: De Soto, KS

That's like five contests fewer than 2007. Will probably cook 2 or 3 with other teams. May also cook Laurie, MO or Windsor, MO with someone I discussed it with over the weekend.
 
Great Lakes BBQ & Feed Co plans to do

Wamac IL - May 2-3
GAB May 22-24 - Invitational and open
Elk Grove or Mt Vernon IL June 13-14
Kettering OH July 18-19
Grand Rapids MI July 25-26
Mt Morris MI Aug 15-16
Nashville IN Sept 5-6
Silver Lake/Mears MI Sept 12-13
October schedule TBD.

This will be the most I've done in one year. But downsizing and driving the truck instead of the motorhome makes the trips easier, especially when it's windy. And next year I'll probably do Westmount IL instead of the GAB.

you're doing Harpoon instead of coming back to GR? At least I'll see you at the GAB and maybe a contest in October.
 
Yeppers

Grand Rapids has changed their date twice in as many years. We're flying in for Harpoon. I will DEFINITELY see you at the GAB and hopefully in October!

I've about got ours nailed. I keep trying to pair it down, and then more show up on the list. Most of it is going to depend on job status. If I am employed, we'll go ahead and do 18-20 again. I'm hoping to start the season at Pleasant Hill and close out at the Royal (maybe Desoto).
 
Here's what we have discussed so far for the year. We'll see if we get them all in.
2/15-16 Great Bend, KS
3/13-14 NKC
4/4-5 Pleasant Hill, MO
5/2-3 Lansing, KS
5/23-25 GAB Invite & Open
6/5-7 QLossal
7/10-12 Shannon, IL (qualified for Butt to Butt)
8/15-16 Ex. Springs
9/19-20 Mission, KS
9/26-27 Shawnee
10/3-5 Royal Invite & Open
10/17-18 Independence, MO
 
The 2008 schedule is not final, but we hope it looks something like this:

Misc judging and helping other teams when possible.
 
I think I am on draft # 50 so far... Steph keeps adding new contests and I keep adding them to my schedule.. I was planning on doing 15... I think last count it was at 20... I need to cut a few back... As I don't want to do that many...

Scottie
 
We're still thinking about the last half of the year. I can see us adding a contest or two in the September-October timeframe.

February - Great Bend
April - Pleasant Hill and Sugar Creek
May - Lawrence
June - Raytown
August - Dillon (tentative)
September - Kearney
October - Royal (tentative)
 
Ours is pretty small in comparison to most of those posted already but here goes.

4/4 Pleasant hill, mo
5/9 Platte City, mo
6/27 Cameron, mo

I am hoping to do Desoto in October but my wife is due in September so that may be pushing it, It also rules out the hot months and September I think I am going to take a judging class and try to judge a few so I can get my fix over the summer.

That doesn't mean they can't come visit you! My little guy was just over a month old when my wife brought him to his first contest in North KC last March.

Our list is posted... subject to major changes.

We had our (9) selected till Tom went to work this morning and found out one of his full time employees quit......now were back to square one and not sure we can get away at all on Fridays till he has a replacement trained and trusted. The woes of owning a small business!

If you need any extra hands for these, especially the Iowa contests let me know!! I would love to get started this year and get an idea of what to expect. Thanks.
