| Who would have thought when we won the grand championship here in 2005 that those 37 teams would soon grow into 84!! Sandy and Wicomico County Tourism again did an amazing job with this contest. Her enthusiasm shows all the time, and next year she fully intends on having 100 teams. A special congratulations goes out to our friends Andy Stoddard and Brett Brown. Brett and Andy won it all in their first contest cooking together!! |
Pork in the Park. Salisbury Maryland KCBC state championship.
What a fantastic weekend for BBQ. Great weather, great friends. Everything was smooth until Shotgun Fred, from The BBQ Guru, fell ill from a stroke on Friday morning. George Stone (Tuffy's dad) heard Fred calling and was immediately on the phone dialing 911, and keeping Fred comfortable. 11 minutes later, and Fred was in good hands. He continues to recover in therapy, and we wish him the best for a full recovery!

| Since I was a kid riding with the family over the old single span bridge, the Bay Bridge has always amazed me. |
If you are looking for big hills and mountains, you don't want to come to the Eastern shore of Maryland. |
