Jan and I both received letters today from the organizers of the BBQ on the River Festival asking us to be Judges for the competition. The festival runs 9/27-9/29. The competition is the morning of 9/29. Jan and I have both been assigned to the Whole Hog competition. Whole Hog is fun to judge as you go on site to the teams where they present the hog, answer any questions you may have and serve you at tables that can really be decked out. All other competition entires, ribs, shoulder, poultry is blind judged.
This is not a KCBS sanctioned event but the judging criteria is very similar. We're both very excited to do it. I judged whole hog last year. This will be Jan's first time.
congrats - hope you have a great time
Stock up on Tums!
You musta done good last year if they invited you back Larry. Nicely done
Sounds like a good time Larry, got a bunch of different hunks of meat in a whole hog.
The only thing I judge is car shows ;D
Was there last year and it took MANY Coors Lites for Larry to wash down all that pig he ate.
Have fun and do what STC said.
Nice. Sounds like a lot of good eating too. Congrats.

Have fun!
I judged whole hog at New Holland, PA; and they do blind judging. A platter containing meat from five sections of the hog is displayed, judges have to sample meat from each section, then give an overall score.
Congrats on the opportunity. Even more fun getting to go meet the folks.
Thats Awesome, Sometimes I wish the United States was smaller so I could walk on over there and watch yah eat that pig, But then I'd have to build a fence, with a gate :D
Nice, have a great time!
Brian? You going to Paducah?
Congrats L&J

Nice, sounds like it will be a good time!
