As one of the organizers of the Marietta contest, we are looking at alternatives to keep a contest in the Marietta area. Dave and I are committed to having an event organized, run, and enjoyed by people who love the art of BBQ. We'll keep you posted as we take this next step!
Thanks,
Noah
P.S. By Marietta, we are thinking Northwest Metro Atlanta, and looking to distance ourselves from "for profit" events or event owners (even if they say "non profit!). We really enjoyed the Relay for Life and American Cancer Society BBQ event in Cartersville last weekend, and might look in that direction. Ping either of us if you have any ideas or insights, as having a contest in your back yard at least once a year is a nice luxury!
