mk1 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Posted April 4, 2016 BBQ season has started officially. Ubon's came in 5th overall out of 90 plus teams! Hogs is a charity competititon and collectively we raised 800K for pediatric brain tumor patients and their families. As a radiation oncologist this event holds a special place in my heart. It was very rainy but a little mud never stops a Hog! 1

The web page has all the details of the various components. The BBQ competitition is probably one of the top 2 or 3 competitions in the country. It is open to the general public. Unfortunately, due to governmental bureaucratic concerns of food handling safety, the general public cannot be fed by competing teams. There are lots of vendors however, including a handful of competition teams. It is quite a scene there. If you want to taste actual competition BBQ you need to get on a team or pony up for a VIP tour. Information on the VIP situations are on the website. If you go you will find friendly people everywhere and will likely be invited to participate in festivities. That is how I found my BBQ family, and now I tour and cook with them. HTH MK 2
