Man, that's just cold.  Doesn't seem like a $200 entry fee to shoot for a $275 Best Booth is a very sound piece of decision making. 

Honestly, I'm not sure on this one yet.  We decided to do the Pulte event and see how things go.  If by some miracle we win some money at Pulte, then I'll probably do this event.  Otherwise it's just not in my budget. 

I have been thinking about judging a few locally since I can probably swing that expense.




Ya got that right.   TUMS are cheap!  :D

Hey all, Here's where we stand on this event.

4 Meat contest plus Best Booth.  All paying off as follows:

1st place: $275.00
2nd place: $125.00
3rd place:  $75.00
4th-6th place: Medals

Reserve GC pays - $250
Grand Champion pays - $350

That's a $3000 Prize fund for this competition and an additional $1000 for the Weekend Warrior Portion of the event for a total prize package of $4000 Cash.  With Trophies & Medals, that's pretty close to $4500.  Event includes Free Electricity & Free Ice.  Not a bad return on investment for your $200 entry fee.  Most contests today are higher than this one to get into.

We will also be doing the People's choice for $2/ticket with $1/ticket coming directly back to each of you, so there's more opportunity to get some $$$ in your pockets.

We want more competitions here in the valley and this is shaping up to be a fun one.  If they get more sponsors, they will increase the prize fund.

We do hope to see all of you out there.

DeWALT is also one of the big sponsors for this event and we are working with them to get some items donated for the winners as well, so it will be worth coming out and having a great time.  ;)  Get your entries in soon...

If God wanted us to be Vegetarians, why did he make animals out of meat??

Mike sounds like you got it going on there.
just a note Guys Modesto entry is $300
Stagecoach will probably be $500 total
 (for two contests)
The old $125 contest is gone
Any sanctioned contest is $150
KCBS has to be $200
In April I have one in Anaheim It will probably be
$150, Hesperia should be $150, La Quinta Should be $200
 it is a KCBS State Championship

Glad to see you went to the Western Standard Peoples Choice $2.00
$1.00 back to the teams
The show of PC is fun for the crowd

A guy could do a small  Kids Hot Dog for a $2.00 ticket
would that work Mike? or No?

We are also excited to announce in addition to the Competitors and Weekend Warriors Categories.......... We also have a category for Police Departments, Fire Departments, and Military Services..........

We already have teams from Luke Air Force Base Fighter Country Partnership and Avondale Fire Department.  We are also working on the Army, Navy and Marines to enter as well..... And more police and fire departments are jumping on board. 

There will be a great military presence (many families in our large community are Air Force and Army, with many deployed in the middle east) with the Luke Color Guard openning the ceremonies right after the "Fun Run" and closing the day with TAPS........ and the "General" will be a judge for the competition.........Luke Air Force Base is in the Litchfield School District Boundries.........

And we are working on a "Black Hawk" landing on site and being available for the entire event for people to climb on board and check out........ This will be a great "PATRIOTIC EVENT" to support...................

This fantastic Patriotic and Charity Event will certainly provide assistance to the beneficiaries (Luke Fighter Country Partnership, Southwest YMCA and Litchfield School District)... The TAPS Program with Luke, provides assistance to military families in need.  The YMCA's Activate America will be starting a new program for obese children............

We look forward to the competitors coming out and smokin' great meats and showing support to these fine organizations and the community of the Far West Valley................... HOO Ah................................................... Force 

By the way, my team Tex's Smokehouse on Wheels will be competiting..................... and I know Mike has a thrown down coming..........

Um....I hate to be the one to point out the 800 lb gorilla in the room but....no alcohol allowed?   Doesn't that go against the forces of nature here??? :o

Just kidding!  Probably a good time to reaquaint my body with water, juice etc. anyway.   

I am really looking forward to this one.....from the sound of things, it looks like it is going to be a really cool event contributing to a great cause.   

Not to mention that it is always a plus when you can get the military folks involved.
