The Event this year will be at 418 E. Main Street, Springerville, AZ.  There is a large grassy area for trailers, its at the police department, there is a playground on location, water and electricity (110 Only).

Dates are: Labor Day weekend, August 31st - September 3rd, 2017

This will be our 3rd event like this and we are excited to be once again teaming up with the city of Springerville & Mike & Mary Nuttall.

I will also create a Facebook event page for this event, please help share & promote this event as we would love to have as many of our AZBarbeque members & BBQ Enthusists there as possible.

If you don't want to camp out, there are several hotels in Springerville.

Since Denise has family in the area we will very likely be there. Besides, it's for charity and a great community.

The event is absolutely happening, just trying to lock down the final sponsor.  You know how corporate things go.  Have to get approvals.

Hope to have something this week.

Had a few teams ask if they had to use the ribs we provide for their competition turn in. 

Answer is "NO". 

You are more than welcome to use your own ribs for turn ins as well as for the People's Choice. 

If you need or want ribs, we will supply them. If you don't, use what you bring. 

It's all good.
