UPDATE:
We are going to host a charity casino night / social event / potluck on Friday night of the contest (May 28th) for the teams and other event VIPs (and maybe judges

). The event will benefit the Ronald McDonald House of Rochester. Roc City Rib Fest will match the first ten dollars per team buy in (one match only per team, but any amount of team members or guests can play). We will have blackjack, poker and roulette. Players can win chips that are good for raffle tickets that they can enter for prizes, or just buy raffle tickets. Probably run from 7pm to 11pm ish. Local teams that have not set up yet are invited also. Rumor has it that participants will receive free beer…
Come on out and have some fun while supporting a great cause!
We are also looking for prize donations for the casino night: rubs, sauce, charcoal, t-shirts, contest entries etc. Get your product in front of the comp teams and help out the families Ronald McDonald House supports.
Teams are welcome to arrive anytime Friday, although it would be best before 5pm. You are also welcome to stay over on Sunday night and leave Monday morning.
The team comfort station will be back with:
Free ice
Dedicated personnel for concierge service and problems
Free 24/7 Coffee
For Saturday night we are working on putting together a free buffet dinner for the teams so you can concentrate on the competition.
Sunday morning Good Smoke BBQ will again cook a full spread breakfast for the teams as a thank you for coming!
Beer!
Thanks!
