With a full field each day, we will have approximately $11,000 in prize money. Grand and Reserve Grand Trophies will be awarded for each contest. Category trophies will be awarded through 10th place for KCBS, and 5th place for NEBS Wide Open Grilling.

New for 2010 is People’s Choice
Saturday’s People’s Choice will feature Pulled Pork (provided) – 3:00 pm -4:00 pm
Sunday’s People’s Choice will feature Chicken Wings (provided) – 3:00 pm-4:00 pm

The Public will purchase a card in exchange for 8 samples. Each card purchased will allow them to cast one vote for their favorite. The number of cards sold will be determined by the number of participants. Participating teams will receive the raw meat and plastic cups to serve samples. While serving the sample, teams should write their team name in the box on the card indicating a sample has been served. Teams will collect their own vote tickets, and will be picked up at 4pm. The 3 teams with the most number of tickets will be declared the winners at the award ceremony, and will be awarded prize money and trophies. There is no cost to teams to participate, and service to the public will be limited to 1 hour. This contest is being run as a fundraiser for the Patchin Fire Company. Your participation is encouraged and very much appreciated.

Back by popular demand - the VIP Wristband. Throughout the weekend, we invite you to responsibly enjoy the various adult beverages on tap at either Porky’s Pen or Petunia’s Pub. Teams with children will also receive a few complimentary ride tickets courtesy of the event.

This is a family event, and we encourage you to bring yours. This is an action packed weekend that includes live performances of entertainers, rides, acclaimed musical acts, and a professional fireworks show to cap off the weekend.

Team Entry Forms are located below. I am in charge of organizing the teams, and my complete contact information is on the Team Entry Form.

The Judges Registration Form is also located below. David and Eileen Bunn are handling the responsibility of seating judges, so please remit any correspondence directly to them. Their contact information is on the Judges Registration Form located below.

Again, thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of the event in 2009. We look forward to another great year, and count on your support to make this a premier event on the KCBS Contest Circuit.

I'd really like to have some teams from the Great State of Michigan. We've laid out one heck of a hospitality and payout package. What else does it take? :)

Mike,
your contest is the same weekend as the Auburn Hills event here in Michigan, too bad because by the looks of things you really put on a great event. Best of luck to you.

Yeah, its tough when events fall on the same weekend. I guess that's part of competition bbq's explosive growth. They added another KCBS Contest in Brockport. That makes 4 KCBS State Championships within an hour and half of my house. I remember when I had to drive to MA, VT, MD, and cook the local to get four in....

Can't believe that nothing has caught on in NE Ohio or Western PA yet. All in due time.

And yes, we run a solid event. That's what you get when a cook organizes a contest. ;)

I checked out your website and voted on your shorts. :p

The pics show a nice area and it would be nice to go out there sometime.

Gee, thanks Rich. :)

They guy who does the website is a lurker on all the bbq forums, including this one. He caught a team heckling me about the shorts, and thought it would be funny to create a poll. I told him that no matter what the poll said, I would be keeping my shorts and sporting them proudly. The committee is a lot of fun, and they sure have fun giving me the business.

This week they were teasing me about the Intro Post I made here a few months ago.

Well at least you're not wearing Croc's and you don't have a tattoo on your leg, like some people in that pic.

That was before I had Crocs....

I was wearing soggy day hikers - its was hot, and my feet were sweaty. Didn't have to worry about the Balz - they were nice and dry due to the tropical shorts.

The whole thing started when DivaQ posted the picture and said I should retire my man card. I think she wished that Vlado (aka - The Hardest Working Man in BBQ) had a matching pair.

I also have a pair of floral swim trunks that I wore at Hudson Valley. It was damn hot (95+), and we were all planning a swim after the awards ceremony. She gave me the business about those too. :)
