I know this is awfully early but wanted to get the dates out in plenty of time so people who might be interested can start making plans early. The dates are 9/22-9/24. Jan and I are staying across the street from the event. I think maybe a couple of folks from up around Springfield IL may be coming down. Who knows, it is mildly possible that 3 of us from the forum may be helping out one of the "circuit" competition teams this year. Seems they have a little trouble doing chickens. More on that later as the time draws nearer.
48 teams, 3 days of BBQ, beer and everything else you can imagine and 50,000 people. All of the net proceeds go to different charities.
What a coincidence, Hal and I have a room booked across the street from the festival.. :D
Woo-Hooo!!!

If you could see a certain town down south
I'll bet you fifteen cents you'd holler "Shut my mouth!"
I'm not exaggeratin' when I say
There's not a sweeter town in the U.S.A.
I know an awful lot of people claim
It has a funny name. But brother just the same
They can't frown on my home town
Paducah, Paducah
If you wanna you can rhyme it with bazooka
But you can't pooh-pooh Paducah
That's another name for Paradise.
Paducah, Paducah
Just a pretty little city in Kentucky
But to me it rhymes with lucky
When I look into two blue eyes.
Tulip time, they get excited over tulip time But I'm delighted over
julep time Because I happen to love A resident of...
Paducah, Paducah
If you wanna you can rhyme it with bazooka
But you can't pooh-pooh Paducah
That's another name for Paradise.
No, no, no... the other song (but I'm not singing either one).

1,740 square feet sounds about right! :o
It's bigger than my house.
Plenty of room for 4 of us to stumble around in. Full kitchen, dining room, private street entrance, washer/dryer, couch for Hal to sleep on... :D
If the wife and I weren't going to Chicago to see the Cubbies play the week before I'd try and talk her to going. I wonder if I still have some relatives living there?
