Annual BBQ Festival and Competition
October 2nd, 2010
Laurens, SC
My buddies Steve and Jeff took their Piglet Enemy BBQ team down to Laurens, SC to enter in the annual Squealin' on the Square BBQ Competition. Also joining them was my buddy Ron!

Even though it is only 35 minutes from my house, I have never been to Laurens, SC before. Joining me was my father-in-law Chris who found himself right at home in downtown Laurens.

But now, lets return to the BBQ
There are (4) categories in the competition:
1. Chicken
2. Ribs
3. Pork Butt or Shoulder
4. Brisket

Chris and I filled our tummies sampling some of the leftovers. My favorites were the ribs and the pulled pork butt! Since I wanted to get home in time for the 3:30 VT Hokie game, we left before finding out the results.
It was a beautiful day! Chris really enjoyed himself and got some good ideas for the home-make smoker that he is working on. And the day got even better as my Hokies got the victory with a come from behind 41-30 win!

Muscle cars, Bluegrass music, BBQ, Tractors! Holy Moley! My kind of place!
Love BBQ, but just don't get enough of it.
Ever since my buddies decided to take up competition BBQ, I've been getting more BBQ than I probably should be eating!
Wow... that all looks like a lot of fun. Wish I could have been there with you.
Its been a while since I was supervising production at SPP, but there is a certain glove in one of these pictures that looks very familiar! :p
I don't know what you are talking about Blair! And I certainly don't know where they got all the empty stainless steel containers, beer kegs, and scrap metal that their smokers are made out of!
Great photos of the fun... Being a car nut and taking hundreds of photos at car shows I really enjoyed yours. I need to start taking closer shots of them like you did.

Thanks Alan! I find that at car shows it makes for a more interesting photo if you focus in to specific features on the car, rather than trying to get the whole vehicle in the photo.
