Events:
Ellensburg Event
The vending to the public went very well, selling upwards of 60 racks of ribs.
Two to three teams who attended this event could be prospects to compete in a regular contest in the future.
Camp Korey
There are 49 teams registered for the Camp Korey event. We will be turning in the meats in big meats first order (no change from normal).
There is a raffle for a Smokin’ Bros Grill, and one for a custom crafted guitar.
There will be new PNWBA branded merchandise for sale at the contest.
Enumclaw
There was a discussion on whether we could have cooking at judging classes at the Enumclaw event.
If we are going to have a Chili category, we need to get an announcement out soon. Funds are available from the Lynn Brokaw funds for trophies/ribbons.
Clearwater
We need to start planning for this event after Camp Korey is completed. We will have the same RV parking area as we did last year. We need to get the contest announcement out. We need the prize pool amount determined.
We will have a judging class at the event. Diane will coordinate cooking the meats for the class.
Jason H. will be in charge of the cooking for the VIP event/vets feed portion of the event. There will be 3 services of food for the vet’s feed.
The cost of the banquet dinner will likely be increased by $5 this year.
We need people to help with the dessert auction and general administration tasks.
