I am happy to announce that this year we will be raising money for "River Fund". "River Fund" raises money for many different charities. The money raised during this event will go for assisting local cancer patients. I expect a very large public turnout to this event since the "River Fund" Executive Director is securing PSA advertising with ALL the local newspapers, the local radio stations and our local television station.
Hope to see you all there!

GREAT NEWS!!!
I would like to thank the Pioneer Hotel & Gambling Hall in Laughlin NV for sponsoring the funds for the "Public Sampling" for the 4th annual Smokey Hayes BBQ Competition, "Porkin' on the River"!
There is no longer a $30.00 Health department fee for Public Sampling.
Lets all give a big shout out to the Pioneer, a wonderful sponsor with wonderful people!

Those of you who have paid the fee will be refunded.


With Health Dept's, Fire Dept's, Beverage Dept's, Entertainment Dept's, Insurance and all the "other" Dept's who keep raising the fee's which have to be paid to have a Competition, it makes it harder and harder to have any fun at all!
