WOW, what a fun weekend & event.  It was great weather and everything went well.

A HUGE Thank You goes out to Augie & Joe & their entire Team at Rock Springs Cafe.  What a great venue they provided & they really stepped up & took care of all the teams.  

Not only did they put up the Prize Fund, but also over $1200 in Gift Cards to all the teams and prizes.

Thanks to Sharp 'N It & 5 Hour Energy for coming out & hooking up all the teams & members, it was great to have them all there.

A HUGE Congrats goes out to David & Karyn for winning their very first GC.  Out of 48 very good teams, that is certainly impressive.  Way to go.

A HUGE Congrats also goes out to Straws, Sticks & Bricks BBQ, the All Star Team of Steel City & Little Miss BBQ certainly was an impressive combination.  Way to go.

Congrats as well to all the teams who walked & competed.

Thank you Mike for putting on a great event! We had a blast, and are hooked. Thanks to Nancy and her team, for working so hard. Big congratulations to Toy 4 BBQ'N on your G.C. and Straw, Sticks, & Bricks BBQ for you R.G.C.! Congratulations to all the teams you all worked hard and had fun. Thank you to the folks from Ranch 13 and Johnny's Smokehouse for you words encouragement and suggestions.
Nice seeing you and Cheryl this weekend. I knew you would be hooked after you did a competition I know I was. Looks like I will be seeing you both down the road. I remember my first event I had 2 goals. Make my turn in's on time and not come in DAL. It was a success on both account. Looking at the rankings you did a lot better than we did but I did have one arm in a sling on that first event. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Cheryl nice seeing you as a table captain in the judges tent. Glad you both had fun and looking forward to us having fun together. Congrats on you first time out of the gate.

Mike,

A huge thank you to Nancy, you and BCS for this event.

We want to make sure that all the staff at Rock Springs knows that we really appreciate everything. Dave and I will be using our Gift Certificate for Lunch on a Monday. (I know its corny cause we work together, but we have a lunch date every Monday).

I was also wondering if you have heard any updates on Linda? We are keeping her in our prayers.

Thanks again,
Karyn

While I truly enjoyed the event, seeing our BBQ friends and meeting new neighbors I really need to comment on a couple of things. 
There needed to be more porta-potties and at least one additional dumpster.  There were 27 teams in January with the same amount of johns and dumpsters as there were this time around with 47-48 teams. Seriously...some hand sanitizer in the johns please...this is a food event. 
The amount of garbage around the dumpster at the end of the event would have easily filled a second and maybe a third. There were pans of grease setting out in the open...a mess just waiting to happen.  Bag it at least people.  I think these two items need to be seriously addressed.
On a more positive note...thank you for setting up tents for the judging area and not making us walk the obstacle course of uneven stairs, bridge, and patio area for turn-ins.  My knees really thank you!
Thanks to Rock Springs for hosting us and putting up prize funds, and gift certificates for early bird entries.  Good food, good times...just need to get some more logistics worked out.  I will not comment of the judging.

On a more positive note...thank you for setting up tents for the judging area and not making us walk the obstacle course of uneven stairs, bridge, and patio area for turn-ins.  My knees really thank you!
Thanks to Rock Springs for hosting us and putting up prize funds, and gift certificates for early bird entries.  Good food, good times...just need to get some more logistics worked out.  I will not comment of the judging. 

Crystal,  Thanks for your feedback.  There were supposed to be 8 Port-a-Johns & 3 Dumpsters along with Hand Wash Stations, Ash Bins & Grease Bins.  These were discussed & assigned during our last logistics meeting there at Rock Springs Cafe.  Obviously the person in charge of that majorly dropped the ball & we will address this with Rock Springs at our recap meeting.

I also do agree with you on the Trash, I don't understand why people don't put things in bags.  I personally drove around during the event and after the event picking up Trash & bagging what I could.  It's hard to keep getting sponsors back if we don't take care of the venue they provide us.  Granted, they did not have enough trash bins & dumpsters, but still, it's the teams responsibility to bag up their own trash & leave it out for us to pick up.  We will work on improving this for future events.

As for the Judging, we do agree that the Judges for this event were tough, why, we don't know, but everyone had to go through the same judges & criteria, so saying the Judging was off is taking away from the Teams who did do well and have been up there for many events, it's not like teams won who never competed before and who haven't been working hard to improve.  We did get a lot of feedback, both good & bad along with lots of suggestions.  Our BCS Group will meet in the next few weeks to discuss all of these & continue to improve the sanctioning & training of Judges.  For our 3rd Major event, we do feel it went very well and we look forward to making our adjustments & improving on future events.

Thanks again to everyone for their support, it was great to see so many teams & to see everyone actually enjoying an event again.  That's what these are for, to enjoy.  Yes, there is money on the line & we want you to take your BBQing seriously, but we also want everyone to have Fun.  BBQ is Fun once again..

Rock Springs was Rockin! Congratulations to David and Karyn on an impressive Grand Championship! I have enjoyed your food at Q2U in Anthem and know you rocked this weekend besting some of the best in the Southwest with your fantastic Q and I look forward to seeing the trophy proudly displayed on my next visit.

How about the Dream Team and their first Reserve Grand, very impressive Ladies! Sharon rocked the chicken and Bekke nailed the ribs to get the combined Little Miss BBQ and Steel City BBQ now Straw, Sticks and Bricks a very impressive finish. These are two of the hardest working teams and it is refreshing to watch their hard work become successful. Way to go and what I tasted was fantastic.

Congratulations to all that got calls as this was an impressive field with a bunch of great cooks and experienced pitmasters. I had a great time seeing old friends from AZ, Nevada and the Left Coast and enjoyed meeting some new.

This was a very fun event and we cannot wait to do it again... Steel City and Little Miss will be back in December as our own teams... Straw Sticks and Bricks will be back soon though... We had alot of fun combining the teams and each taking a meat.. it was a nice little break from the craziness of doing all 4 yourself..

Here are some photos from the event, these are from when 5 Hour Energy was onsite.  I thought it was pretty cool that they came out there and handed out samples to everyone. 

Hope we can get them out to more events..

Thank you AZ BBQ, Whiskey Ranch and all you competitors that have participated in Events where The Boys and Girls Clubs of the East Valley is the charity.  You all have helped the Mesa Club tremendously.  The Branch Board along with the kids appreciate you so much.
