Got the two KB homes teams filled, ironically, it was 2 California teams that jumped at them.

We are currently at 47 paid and registered teams.  We need 3 more...

Hi, I'm one of the KB Homes teams, I really appreciate their sponsorship and am looking forward to my first IBCA contest and meeting the cooks from Arizona and beyond (Texas?)  This should be a super event.

Welcome Tom, great to hear you will be coming out to join us at this fantastic event, we are really excited about it and really appreciate all the great support all the California teams have been giving us.

Looking forward to meeting you when you get out here.

Mike Do we have teams from any states other than AZ and CA?

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Yes, we have 1 from TX, 1 for NM and one coming in from PA but the registration is an Arizona address, it is someone who registered the team and has this guy fllying in to help, so we are doing fairly well.  Would have been good to get a few more people from different states here, but there is always next year..

We will be supplying small sample cups for you to hand out samples.

Thanks for the clarification, Mike!  What's the approximate volume the cup will hold?  I'm trying to scale quantities for the projected attendance.

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Don't know yet as we have not purchased them, but not big at all, almost like the ketchup ones you get at the fast food resturants...

I will let you know early next week when we purchase them.

[DivaHerself]

That would be super.  I'm thrilled to be able to scratch sample cups off my list!

Hey all, NEW FLASH...

We finally received confirmation today that Empire/Cat will be donating 2 of their big generators for us at the event.  One will be used for running the stage, sound system, food vendors and ticket booth.

The other will be exclusively for us to supply everyone with QTY 1 - 110 Volt line.  You will need to supply your own Extension cord/cords that are at least 20 feet long.  You may want to bring a few as I'm not yet sure how far away the lines will be from each space, but hey, we got electric.

They are also donating 3 of their big light towers, so we will have light out there as well, so that's a great benefit.

We will also have 40lb bags of ice out there and wood in case anyone needs some of those items during the event.

It's really shaping up nicely.  Looking forward to seeing everyone out there.

awesome!!! Illumination for the late nite circus midget, jello wrestling.

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

I knew you would come up with something good we could do under the lights...   

[ron b]

sounds like that is the place for dad's poker table right under the lights hehehe.

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Hey all, I received an e-mail in today from one of our members who wants to compete in the Lake Pleasant Cook-off, but only has a Big Green Egg smoker.  Does anyone have a smoker he can borrow so he can cook all the required items?  If not, does anyone need another person on their team to help out?

Please post and let me know.

Remember, we are still 3 teams short and would love to get another team in the event.

Thanks,

[Thom Emery]

I can bring a BDS To help him with his Brisket
