Charlevoix, 2011

[sfisch]

I received an email today from the folks in Charlevoix. They are in the finishing stages for a 1 day "Rib Burn" over the 4th of July weekend. They have not settled on a actual day yet but it will be that weekend. Nothing further finalized but I wanted to post the event as that is a busy weekend and contests are beginning to overlap and teams are being put into positions of having to make choices in regards to contests they may be participating in.

Hmm... I like my golf up there. Well, wait - I HATE my golf, but I like playing up there. Please keep updated :{)

The date for the event will be the 2nd of July. We have a meeting today so I will know more specific information later this afternoon. If you have any specific questions please feel free to contact Bethany at 231.547.2101.

Hi Everybody,

We've been busy planning this event and are in the final stages. This is going to be a one day "rib burn" and will take place in downtown Charlevoix's beautiful East Park. Prize money will be 1st place: $1,000, 2nd Place: $500, and third place $250. I am trying to get a feel of how many people are interested in participating. If you have interest please contact me (Bethany) either by replying to this forum, e-mailing me at manager@charlevoix.org, or calling the Chamber offices at 231.547.2101.

There will be two different entrance fees:

If you would just like to participate in the contest (not selling food/merchandise to the public, only preparing ribs for the judges) the entrance fee will be $100

If you would like to participate in both the contest and would like to sell the the public food and or merchandise (you keep 100% of the profits) the entrance fee is $150.

We are expecting 500 people (conservatively) at this event, similar events in Charlevoix have brought in thousands of people.

Besides the regulations, you should probably be carrying some liability insurance.

[Shane Holz]

Have that in the works.

You will need a one day temporary food license, I'm meeting with the Health Department next week, I will let you know what else you will need (if anything) then.
