General Instructions
This is a morning judging for this new event and judging will begin at 9:50 am on Saturday, November 15, 2014. You should be there at 9:00 am for the judge’s briefing.
We will discuss the contest, make assignments for judges and go through orientation for the festival. Newbie judges will get judging credit towards certification. Be sure to bring your aprons if you have already earned them. We will also have new aprons and if this is your fourth judging you will get your apron there. We also have Senior and Master Judge Hats to hand out to those who have earned them. Judges will assemble at the Water’s Building which right at the street near the cooking teams.
Please note that at the last Marshal’s meeting we were asked to tell our judges that they should not take pictures of the turn-in boxes at the table with their cell phone or cameras.
Also, please do not socialize with the cookers before the judging which is the time that they are at theie busiest getting their boxes ready. After the judging is over you may certainly go see your cooker friends at their tents. When you do visit cookers please do not discuss any of the judging that was conducted by either you or at your table with the cookers.
Less Echols, who is with the Chamber of Commerce, is in charge of the festival. Lake High and Mike Sexton are the Marshals.
