SCBA judges working together as a TEAM….I count it a privilege for the opportunity to be the Marshal for this event. Bill Walsh also served as Asst. Marshal and was attentive to details and a great asset. Don Adkins, Dist. Marshal was there to facilitate as well. My wife, Judi was the Calculator for the event and Dave McLaurin was the Assistant/Trainer Calculator. Mike Horn was all over the event taking pictures of what was “happening”. We had a great Table Captains with Bubba Kesler, Wayne Chandler, Mike Sanders, and Joe Standridge. William Holladay taught the Novice Table. Mike and Teena Bohn were at the receiving table and did a great job. I am so proud of everyone who jumped in and did whatever needed to be done. Our SCBA judges are the best for working together as a collaborative team!
My wife, Judi and I really enjoyed visiting and talking with each of the cookers on an individual basis. Thank you to Sally Green with Project Host who provided breakfast sausage biscuits from Tommy’s Ham House and hot coffee from Starbucks. This was a wonderful treat for both cookers and judges.
It was wonderful to see the “seasoned” cookers assisting the new cookers with equipment and necessities. We feel so blessed to a part of this group!
A successful event like this does not just “happen”. It takes a dedicated team working diligently together to make it happen. From the City of Greenville, Sally Green from Project Host Soup kitchen making this an annual opportunity for the residents, the cookers providing their expert cooking skills, and the judges providing savory taste buds, and HUNDREDS of volunteers it all came together as planned. Hope to see you again next year at the 7th Annual Project Host BBQ Cook-off in 2016! Mark your calendar for the last weekend in April!!
Thank you, thank you THANK YOU ALL of doing what you do so well. Keep cookin’, smokin’, and judgin’, tastin’ SCBA style.
Tony Lindsey, Marshal and Bill Walsh, Ast. Marshal
