Greetings BBQ & Blues Fans –
We’re officially 90 days away from one of the largest BBQ and Blues street festivals in the south….the 9th Annual South Carolina Festival of Discovery/Greenwood Blues Cruise July 9-11, 2009 (http://www.festivalofdiscovery.com) presented by Greenwood’s own Carolina Pride! This KCBS sanctioned and South Carolina State Championship contest has $20K in cash and prizes up for grabs!
The accolades of our event keep coming as we’ve been nominated as a ‘TOP 20’ summer event by the Southeast Tourism Society (http://southeasttourism.org/top20/top20_julsep09.html).
We are pleased to announce that the Blues lineup for 09 is set – visit www.greenwoodbluescruise.com. Another stellar lineup put together this year by our friend Gary Erwin AKA “Shrimp City Slim.” 12 Blues artists at 9 different venues in Uptown Greenwood! Yes..it’s ALL FREE! NO COVER! What an economic stimulus relief for the summer!

Q’n For the Cure – What Can I Do?
Members of The Rocky Mountain
BBQ Association, in conjunction with the Romito Foundation, nearby teams,
businesses, and non-profit organizations, are currently planning The First
Annual Q’n For the Cure to benefit the Romito Foundation, an
organization directly supporting research and development of a cure for
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). This
fund raising event will be held May 1st and 2nd at the Daveco Liquor store
facility - named Guinness Book of World Records record-holder for the Largest
Liquor Store – located at 16434 North Washington St., Thornton Colorado 80023
(just off of I-25 and Hwy 7 in Thornton, CO, north of Denver), with a goal to
raise $250,000 for this unique foundation.
This is a call going out to
our BBQ family to step up and help us have a successful First Annual Q’n
For the Cure. The question
really isn’t “what can I do,” as much as it is “what can’t I do?” |

Second Year for BBQ Contest Info |
|
Written by Ray Basso

Here we are in the second year for this web page. Were trying something that had not been attempted before and to
set up a web page to promote barbecue contests. The first year we tested
the concept and it worked great. We had 24 contests post articles to
this site to promote their contest. Some of the articles were read by more
than 500 people. That's a lot of free publicity for the contest.
This year were shooting for 100 contests promoted on this web page.
So we need the help of a lot of contest organizers to post articles to this
site.
So here is how this will all work and this may change as time goes on. I have set up access, that will be granted to some contests, associations and contest organizers. In some cases they will be able to publish articles or notices about up-coming events directly to the web page. In other cases these people will be able to send to me late breaking information that I will distribute for them. In other cases information will come to this site by information posted to the BBQ Forum.
This information will be accessible from this web page and through the newsletter. There will be a newsletter that will be sent to all subscribers that will contain the
latest contest information that can be assembled. So be sure to sign up for the newsletter on the right side of the web page. The newsletter will be free to the subscribers and access to post contest information to this site will be free to contests and event promoters.
* So please sign up for the newsletter. You have my promise that you will receive only the newsletter and no
"Spam."
* If your an association, contest promoter or event organizer, be sure to apply for access to this site, so you can inform the public about you events. It won't cost you anything to do this
