The richest pro BBQ competition West of Kansas City is just around the corner!  ARE YOU READY?

   Friday Sept 6th:  Competition team load-in:  10am to 7pm

     Grassy sites will be 20X30 (No charge for larger RV sites!  No length limits!)

     Power is provided near the sites - bring your LONG heavy duty power cords. 

     Join in the "BBQ Swap Meet" during Load-in day. Bring your extra BBQ tools and equipment to sell or trade to other teams and perhaps

     extra, unneeded supplies as well. (Isn't it time to clean out your garage?)  What are YOU done with that somebody else might want?

   Saturday Sept 7th:  Site inspections will be conducted by the Skagit County Health Dept, the county Fire Marshall and the PNWBA

     The event is only open to the public from 11am to 5pm. Saturday only.

     Teams vend to the public BUT meats and other foods are being provided to you - NO COST- yet you retain 60% of sales!

      Load-out begins after Awards. (Site tear-down, pack-up after final meat turn-in is A-OK.)

* For those  overnighting in your comp site , bathrooms WITH SHOWERS are also available on-site.

* Fill your RV water tanks as you load in. Limited power will be available.  

* Quiet, inverter-style generators are welcome and highly encouraged especially during vending.

* For the Saturday vending, please bring extra coolers & ice as you will be receiving those donated foods when you                                                           

     check in on Friday.

* You'll supply serving needs for vending, like boats, cups, utensils, napkins, etc.

* Ice resupply will be available Saturday afternoon.  Order and pay when you check in Friday - cash or card

* Washington State and Skagit County are strict about the use of trailers in terms of food vending.  The only trailers they will approve are                   Washington State L&I approved vehicles!  So, most all teams will be working on SATURDAY completely outside of your competition trailers but

   certainly may function back inside from Saturday night through the competition. All of our teams have done so the past two years - Really - 

   it's no biggie but do know that rule is concrete and the Health Dept will be inspecting for that.  Everything outside of trailers!

* All teams will be paid for vending and awards prior to departure.

* By the way, we obviously pay out bonuses for the Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion but also for events of 30 teams or more, 

   the third-place overall finisher, the Reserve Champion, also enjoys a healthy bonus!                                                                                                                          *Each of the four meat categories is paid through the top 15 finishers!
