General instructions
This is a morning judging for this new event and it will begin at 9:50 am on Saturday, March 14, 2015. You should be there at 9:00 am for the judge’s briefing.
We will discuss the contest, make assignment for judges and go through orientation for the festival. Novice 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 Wicked Tuna Restaurant which is near the cooking teams. Jessica Powell is in charge of the festival.
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 camera.
Also, please do not socialize with the cookers before the judging which is the time that they are at their busiest getting their boxes ready. After the judging is over you certainly may 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 anyone at your table.
Directions to Murrells Inlet
This first time festival is going to be easy to find since it is at a large restaurant on the main road that goes right through Murrells Inlet. The address for Google Maps, MapQuest and so forth is 4123 US 17 Business, Murrells Inlet, SC 29576.
If you are coming from south of the city (say from Georgetown) you will be coming on US 17 and you will veer right onto US Highway 17 Business just south of Murrells Inlet. From that right turn it is only about two miles to the Restaurant which will be on the right. From the north, Myrtle Beach area, you will turn left at US 17 Business. It is well marked and only about one half mile from the turn.
