We always love going to new small towns and competing. Especially when the fire department is involved! The locals were great, and the Fire Company and organizers did a great job with the entire event. Turn-ins were down the street and up the stairs, so that was tough, but everybody had a long walk so it all evened out. Cooked up some good food again, but the morning was not without problems. Briskets and butts were behind, ribs were ahead, so the process was far from smooth. The entries ended up good though, and we were ecstatic with our 3rd overall. A hearty congrats to the Pennsylvania power-house "PA Midnite Smokers" on their Grand and 3 Eyz on Reserve!!

Trying to beat DC, Baltimore and Philly traffic, Chris arrives late afternoon on Thursday. Over the years, we have figured seven Big Green Eggs® is just enough!
The Green Lane Fire Company. Excellent hosts! Thanks for the hospitality. Kenny and Chuck look at the ol' mini John Deere.
Kenny in the newly souped up Guru segway. Not a Segway, but pretty cool.
Sal, the SMokin' Gnome. Small town USA.
Early evening smoke starting to flow. Beautiful dusk falls on Green Lane.
The guy who makes the minature vehicles gave plenty of rides. This farm equipment hauler is da bomb! The kids went nuts!
Our usual spot, just outside the award pavillion. Waiting to hear our name, and dang if we didn't get to take several walks to the stage. After the fourth walk, for third overall, Chris almost grabbed 3 Eyz trophy for reserve!!
We felt good about this one.
