: past mistakes. From the City of Mauldin
: this annual opportunity for the residents,
: the cookers providing their expert cooking
: skills, and the judges providing savory

: all came together as planned. Hope to see
: you again next year at the 8th Annual

: You are the BEST!! There is no doubt
: about it… SOUTH CAROLINA IS THE BBQ STATE!
