Smithfield King of the Smokers

[John Crittenden]

I will be getting 25 free tickets to this charity event in Rancho Mirage.     I can do a route from O.C. to Rancho Mirage and back, leaving at about 10:30 a.m., coming back when we decide.

Here is the data on this event:

The Smithfield King of the Smoker Competition is a non-profit event, where top pitmasters from around the country come to compete for $75,000. Some big BBQ names include Myron Mixon of BBQ Pitmasters fame and Johnny Trigg “The Godfather” of BBQ. There will be BBQ prize raffles, Mini-BBQ classes hosted by the pitmasters themselves, live music, and food vendors. If you or anyone in your organization like barbecue or want to learn new barbecue skills from the masters, this is the event for them!

All raffle, food, and ticket proceeds from the King of the Smoker benefit The Casey Lee Ball Foundation for Pediatric Kidney Disease – a charity where 100% of every dollar raised goes directly to children in need. Eating delicious barbecue for a good cause; it’s a win-win for everyone involved.

We would love if you could join us for a day filled with BBQ fun.

[Dan Burtt]

If you have any tickets remaining I would like 2 tickets.

Is there going to be a meetup time and place for the ride to the event?

John, If you have any tickets reaming, I would like two tickets.

[John Crittenden]

Four for Bill, two for Dan, got it.

I’ll do a meetup time, likely 10:30, and a route.

[John Crittenden]

I haven’t been able to finalize the route to yet, but how about we UTKS from Irv Seavers at 11 a.m. on Saturday. I’ll have a secondary meetup, likely Temecula. I should have the route by Wednesday evening.

I’m looking forward (and hopefully Beth will be able to go) to some Barbecue!

Hope to see a full gang! I gots tickets!

[Bill Reitz]

Diane & Bob would like tickets also, he talked to me today and I told him about this ride.

[John Crittenden]

Okay, 2 for Bob and Diane. Plenty of tickets remain!

[John Crittenden]

Here is the route proposal. Pretty standard. About a 3 hour ride, not counting 2-3 stops.

Can leave from Irv Seavers at 10 a.m., will put us at the event about 1:30-2 p.m. If anyone wants to be picked up in San Juan Cap, let us know.

Also, there’s a chance I may have to meet the group in Temecula. Will know by tomorrow morning.

Karen, Bill, Diane, & Bob will be there for a 10 departure.

[John Crittenden]

I will meet the group at the Temecula stop, as I have a work cycle at 10 a.m. Should be done easily by 11.

[Bill Reitz]

But John…… who will get us to the Valero in Temecula ???? We have no leader !!!!!!

[Brandon Wilson]

Ivy and I will join the group

[John Crittenden]

Bill, I’m sure you all can find Temecula without a leader. After all, what did you do before I came along?
