| Craig and his group put on a great event every year, and this one was no different. A beautiful weekend brought scores of people. I heard 50,000 on Friday/Saturday combined. The vendors were busy, and since they were competing as well, they had their hands full. A nice weekend was made even better when our good friends (and past Dizzy Pig team mates) won the first and second place overall finishes. Congrats to the BBQ Guru on their first grand championship, and to Stoddard and Brown for keeping their amazing year going with their reserve grand! For Dizzy Pig, it was our 5th top ten finish in a row! |

Lee Ann and Billy got a couple nice calls. And for the 3rd year straight were 3rd overall! I knew they'd do well when Lee Ann told me they had a grease fire. |
