Pulte/Del Webb Hot Air Balloon Festival & BBQ Throw Down

Hey all, the first contest of the new year is finally set.  We finalized all the details today.

Pulte Homes & Del Webb are hosting a Hot Air Balloon Festival & BBQ Throw Down out at their new Sun City Festival Community.

Dates:

Friday, January 25th, 2008 - Saturday, January 26th, 2008.

Located at:

Sun City Festival
26415 W. Desert Vista Blvd.
Buckeye, AZ 85396

It says Buckeye, but it is 15 miles West of Surprise off of Bell Rd.  Great community.

This will be a 4 category competition, Chicken, Ribs, Pork, Brisket.

AZBarbeque will be sanctioning and juding the event.  I will post more on the rules in a bit.

Pulte homes has also asked if we would do a People's Choice so the public can get a chance to taste all the great food.  They are expecting 2000 - 3000 people out at the event, so this will be a great way to make back some of your expenses.  It will be the normal 50/50 split.  Cost will be $2 per ticket for the public and that will get them a small sample of your food.  This is not a plate of food, so make sure to keep it consistant.  When you go to the awards presentation, you will turn in your tickets for counting.  When the awards presentation is over, you will pick up your money.  For each ticket you receive, you will get $1 back, so make sure you have fun with this event as it will be a money maker.

The cost of the event is just $150 if you register prior to January 15th, 2008.  After that, it goes up to $200.  Electric will be provided as well.

Prize money is guaranteed and will be paid by Pulte Homes at the awards presentation in CASH, so no worrying about checks clearing.

This should be a really fun event and we look forward to seeing you all out there.  We are hoping for 10 - 15 teams, so get your registration filled out and sent it today.

This will be an official "Triple Crown" Event, so points will be awarded for how you finish and will be used to determine the Arizona Team of the Year awards.

Gotta do some checking on the date due to the proximity to Super Bowl weekend and what that might mean for work but we would love to do this event.

When do you plan to have the prize money breakdown posted?
