October 3rd and 4th, 2008 at Fontainebleau State Park, Mandeville, LA
Western St Tammany Electric presents BBQ Mania I "Barnyard Smackdown".
A Kansas City Barbeque Society Sanctioned Event.
Proceeds go to Children's Hospital in New Orleans.
Both Professional and Patio Circuit Cookoffs, with Prizes and Awards.
This sounds like a really good time. I love BBQ, and have tried my hand a few times at slow cooking / smoking different meats. (Mostly chicken and pork), however I am no where near good enough to enter a competitive event like this. Maybe next year. Though I will be there to enjoy some fine BBQ I expect.
I have also gotten some good information from these websites and there is a free newsletter you can sign up for as well.

Hope to see you there, with BBQ sauce dripping off your elbow. 🙂
