October is Here!


It's the 1st of October, and that mean's one thing in Kansas City. The 2008 American Royal BBQ Contest is finally here. Again this year, the Park Avenue Pork team will be in space 317 (some maps show this as space 321) in Lot A (yes, this is the CRAZY lot) for the entire weekend. Regardless of what your map shows, this is the space directly under the overpass on the end of the row, just next to the Missouri Warthog Ranchers Association space.

A rough outline of the schedule of activities for our space is as follows:

THURSDAY
- Set up day
- Poker Tournament in evening

FRIDAY
- Friday night is the big party night, of course
- 6:30 PM - The first ever WEDDING at the American Royal BBQ in our space!
- 7:30 PM - BBQ and Brew reception
- 8:00 PM - Party

SATURDAY
- The Team is competing in the Open Side Dish Contests
- Beans, Potatoes, Vegetables and Desert Competitions
- Saturday evening - mellow (as mellow as the A/R gets anyway) friends gathering

SUNDAY
- The Team is competing in the Open Meat Competitions
- Beef Brisket, Pork Shoulder, Sausage, Ribs and Chicken
