#1 New Holland Summerfest, New Holland Pennsylvania - August 2002
8th place overall / 34 teams
New Holland, or N'Holland as the locals call it, has become our traditional every year contest, and is fantastically run. The park setting is a beautiful place to spend a weekend, and the folks who run the contest made us feel at home immediately. We also enjoyed competing against so many great teams as one of our goals was to see if we could really cook, or whether people had just been lying to us all along! This weekend had a happy ending, and answered many questions for us. It was easy for us to decide this one would be a regular for us.

Nervous? Yeah we were nervous. When we saw all the teams set up and saw their prep tables, and shelves and drawers to organize stuff, and cambro chests to hold warm meat in, and giant cookers bellowing sweet smoke, and trophies all lined up we started wondering if we belonged there. I remember saying to my team mate Kenny "we're screwed". Well, we hung with them, and actually did not come in last place as we expected. New Holland 2002 was it. We were hooked.
