Do you know if Arlie will allow you to sell your spot. I wouldn't suspect he would care.

I might be interested if I can get ahold of Arlie.

Just to clarify, for anyone considering, it is this weekend, the 22-23.

I'd be calling Arlie. He accepted your entry and not that of whomever you might sell it to. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a waiting list.

If it's not a free entry the organizer should get a call before bailing on an entry. Even it it's a free entry the organizer should get a heads up, since they frequently know who may have won any free entries. If they know that team X won it, and Team Y shows up it's awkward for everyone until it's sorted out.

Very good advice!

I think what he is worried about was an E-mail us teams got a couple days ago that stated, "no refunds if you drop out".

That's is the problem.
The event organizer called today.
Said he heard about my post on this page.
I confermed my preferance was to not to cook the event, but would if I could not get a refund or sell entry.

He said he sold my spot and was going to refund entry fee.

I told him thanks!!

And thanks to all of you on this blog for your comments.

Arlie is a good promoter. Too bad you missed it though, really fun event so far. Going to be a tough field tomorrow though!

What a stacked field. Hopefully everyone enjoyed what we in CA have been fortunate to experience the past 3 years

This was a great event, with tough competition. The lesson I walked away with: I want big participation ribbons, just like my 5yo got for kids-que.

Never been so dang happy to hear an ice cream truck bell in my life. Everyone had ice cream treats after turn ins were over.:rockon:

Thanks so much for a good time Jeff and Sterling.

midwest_kc · Jul 25, 2016

We missed out on cooking this comp, but I was lucky enough to judge. Wow, is all I can say. There were amazing turn ins all over. I've never judged a better comp, top to bottom, than that one.

erichasaces · Jul 25, 2016

Getting our name called in a field like that was a fantastic feeling. Thanks again to Sterling and crew for putting something like this together.

The worst part of this contest was that I could only manage to scarf down four of the delicious chili dogs friday night. My stomach betrayed me!

Did you get Tuffy Dogs or BPS Elite Dogs?

Burnt at Both Endz · Jul 25, 2016

I was drinking Margarita's so i didn't have any beer, but did anyone see what flavor/kind of beer was in the keg?

DUBBAGA · Jul 25, 2016

Great reading the overwhelming support for this event.

Although the Guinea Pig started in California, it has now grown up and left home. The concept is excellent, and the quality of people/organizations that come together to put it on is without equal.

There were a lot of obstacles and negativity that Big Poppa had to overcome to get this event started a few years ago. It's fantastic to see such positive comments from those who were able to attend this past weekend.

Now... what is this I hear about an ice cream truck and beer keg? ... ... ...

Bud Light

Fantastic contest as usual. The entertainment budget was a little light. That was the worst DJ I have ever seen, although he did bring the keg, so that helps. I was hoping DJ Sausage would jump on the turntables and fix things.
