This was a first year contest that the organizers did an outstanding job. Everything they could control went perfectly, everything they couldn't went miserably...lol. Actally the weather wasn't that bad at all despite the tornado warnings and the weather disaster plans. I mean it was windy and raining the whole time and we were flooded the whole time but it was fun anyway. This contest had 5 full EGG® teams and the EGGs did a pretty good job with 4 of the 5 teams getting calls.
Our good friends Kevin and Tammy from The Eggsequetive Council were set up right next to us. They are a little more crisp and clean than we are.
These were nice big sites that held a lot of water.
You can tell by the tarps that things were wet and windy. It's a good thing that the EGGs don't mind either one of those things. We did get a chance to test our mountaineering skills in securing everything.
Here is an overview shot of the contest site before it filled up. It was also a preview of the weather that was rolling in behind us.
Our neighbors, good friends, and fellow EGG team Kevin and Tammy from The EGGsequetive Council. They were also smiling through the weather. They didn't realize they would be smiling the next day with an outstanding 6th place finish overall.
Here's a shot of our fridge when it's fully loaded with our prepped meat and the presentation boxes. It's a very organized jigsaw puzzle .
Here is a horrible shot of our good friend Diane from Jus Fer Fun prepping her briskets. Their brisket is always top notch but they must have hit some bad tables this weekend.
Kevin came over to check out our new EGG Shelves on the XLs.
Despite the weather everyone had a good time. Here's a shot of the wole team sharing a good laugh. From left to right it is Tom, Charlie, Pam, and Steve.
This is what we were working in all weekend. Even on a hill there was still standing water. I imagine we had about 3 inches of rain throughout the whole time.
Here is a parting shot of the floor of the trailer. It looked exactly like this throughout the whole trailer.
