Also, does anyone know what the prize fund is?

Thanks,
Bill

Steve, it will be great to see you in No. Cal. Maybe Friday night we can have a drink and discuss your gender identity questions!
I will bring a donation for Ardith as payback for Stagecoach.

Thanks for the kind words. But just so you know, I'm not running solo here Ben & I have partnered up on this event. We began working on this project in Nov. of last year and we are very pleased with how things have come together. We have been a bit quite about it because we wanted to make sure we could deliver what we set out to do. From day one our focus has been on meeting the needs of the cooks and providing an enviroment that features a great venue ( see website for pics www.wayoutwestbbq.com ) easy access, ease of use, live entertainment Sat. Fireworks on Friday. Our goal is to have you saying, "Now that's the way an event is suppose to be run."

Ben will address the prize money later today.

A replacement KCBS event in Central Valley.

Great PC opportunity and a FANTASTIC venue.

Friday night fireworks display (we will have front row seats).

This is going to become one of the can't miss events on the calendar.
