We competed at Smokin in the Square in Pensacola this past weekend. Now we have only competed in a few contests but they did something that we thought was a great idea and it needs to be shared. After the last turn ins they had a group of guys come around asking if you wanted to donate your leftovers to supply the local food banks. They gave us some pans to put the food in and came back later with Cambros on a trailer to collect the meat. Speaking for us, more BBQ is the last thing we want for a few days so we thought this was a great way to give back. One of the guys said they can supply 4 food banks with the food they would collect.
I know some teams sell their contest meats to re-coop some contest funds but this donation is a great way to help those less fortunate. I hope more contests look into this and we will look into donating our food even if contests don't. Well done to Ivan and his staff!
