Emery writes; I'm on the board of The Outreach Farm (like us on facebook if you get a chance), located out of Pawleys Island, SC. We're holding our first annual SC BBQ Association sanctioned event this April 4th and 5th. The event will be held in Murrells Inlet next to the water at The Beaver Bar and will include live music, live auction, pay bar, and good times. This is our first event, so we're very green with the whole thing. Can you give us any advice on getting the SCBBQ Association members/ teams to commit and sign up for the event? At this point, we only have 2 teams who have signed up and paid and about another 8 that have verbally said they will sign up. Is there any way you could advertise to the members on your site? We'd like to have between 10-15 teams our first year. The Outreach Farm served approximately 60,000 servings of protein in our 2 counties in 2012 and are hoping to reach 100,000 with this fundraiser and a few additional fundraisers we have annually. Thank you for any suggestions you'd be willing to give and be sure to bring your fishing rods and golf clubs if you're able to make it! Emery Porter
