This is this group's first event of this kind along with the first event of this kind for this Health Dept.
We are working with them, but it's a learning process for them.
The cost is $160 and the Health Permit is included in that cost.
You may bring your own meats for the competition, but you can NOT remove them from their original packaging until after the health dept inspects them. Please have them in original packaging along with the receipt.
If you want to do people's choice, they will be giving you Ribs in which to cook to serve. They are only charging the public $1 per sample with $.50 going back to the teams, but they are giving you the ribs, so it still works out OK.
We have done events like this before with the No Alcohol and food requirement and I'm sure we all know what to do.
Let's get the first event under our belts down here and show them how great it can be and I'm sure it will grow into a great event for years to come.
