Conodo12 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 Hi All, I travel quite a bit and find myself away on some weekends. Can't be on the grill but that doesn't mean that I can't enjoy some great Q! I have been to a few BBQ Shows and Competitions and enjoy them all. I thought I would attempt to start a thread where we can list the shows coming up for the 2008 season. Here is one that will be in my (general) area from April 11-12th. http://www.mabbqa.com/expo.html Got any shows coming up in your area? Please share and Thank You!
Conodo12 Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Posted March 28, 2008 OK, now it's getting bad. Not only do I talk to myself on occasion, but now I am replying to my own posts!! From the same web page - here is a list of events from the MABA "territory": http://www.mabbqa.com/competitions.html Got more?!?!? Thanks again!
Sanny Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 Maybe if you waited more than 15 mins, someone else would join the conversation. My theory is, you need to read an interesting post now and then - might as well be your own, right? Playing, Conodo. Never been to a BBQ show, but sounds like fun.
Conodo12 Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Posted March 28, 2008 No worries Sanny - I have tough skin. Must come from the military background! Truth is, I should have scoped out the MABA site a little closer and I could have posted both links in one post... However, if anyone has any other BBQ Shows or Competitions they'd like to share with us, that would be great! I travel all over our great nation and would like to visit some premier BBQ events. Thanks!
Sanny Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 My mother will be in Hbg next weekend (at the Farm Show Complex on Cameron St). I usually go (annual event), but I'll be at a wedding in NC. Which has nothing to do with bbq, except they do sometimes have pulled beef bbq on a bun at the food area.
TheNakedWhiz Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 www.kcbs.us should have a schedule of all the kcbs sanctioned contests...
Conodo12 Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Posted March 28, 2008 Whiz, this is a great list of events! Thanks! Anybody know of any other BBQ Competitions or Cookoffs?!? Also, we should think about which forum members are going to each event - that way we can meet up in person!
Firemonkey Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 Here is a list of FL BBQ Association events: http://www.flbbq.org/contest.htm
Conodo12 Posted March 29, 2008 Author Report Posted March 29, 2008 Thanks for the link Firemonkey! We're getting a pretty good list of events here with most covering the East coast and Middle U.S. I saw some links for the West coast. Anybody care to add anymore? Soon, we will just have to let each other know which events we are going to be at and we can begin to meet up in person - very cool forum so I am sure I would enjoy meeting all of you!
Conodo12 Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Posted April 7, 2008 Anybody coming out to Lancaster, PA this weekend? http://www.mabbqa.com/expo.html PM me - I could make it out there Friday or Saturday and it sounds like a great time!
Conodo12 Posted April 19, 2008 Author Report Posted April 19, 2008 Hey, what's the record for replying to one's own posts?!?! Am I close? Here's a great site to find just about every competition out there: http://www.bbqcontestinfo.com/ No surprise that I found that site by going to the grand daddy of all the BBQ Forums: http://www.thebbqforum.com/ Just the same - I like it in our corner right here! Have fun and get out there to a show or contest - these are really great people to meet and they feed you!! Anybody on this forum competing this year? Heck, if we can figure out a way to get several Komodo's to one competition, we will easily win for best dressed!
