Thank you for signing up to judge Spartanburg Juneteenth, in Spartanburg, SC on Saturday June 16th.
This is a one meat category event (Baby Back ribs) with a 12:00 PM turn-in time (11:50 AM – 12:10 PM). Note: This later turn-in time is per the request of the Juneteenth Event Committee.
Unfortunately, Juneteenth didn't meet their anticipated quota, for the number of cook teams (20 – 25 teams), and we've recently had a few cancellations. If any judge has other plans for Saturday and would like to withdrawal, please contact me ASAP because we currently have a surplus of judges.
For those of you still planning to attend, the judges meeting will start promptly at 11:00 AM. If you'll be receiving an apron or hat and have not yet notified me or posted it on the website, when you signed up, please get in touch with me so I can be prepared to present it to you on Saturday.
Judging will take place inside the Mary H. Wright Elementary School’s cafeteria. The school’s address is 457 S. Church Street, Spartanburg, SC 29306. The best parking location for judges is the school’s teacher’s parking lot. Turn off of S. Church Street, onto Marion Street, between the elementary school and Mt. Moriah Baptist Church. The teacher’s parking lot is approximately 100 yards down the street, on your right. If this parking lot is full, you can also park behind the church.
If any of you have a family member that is cooking with a team, in Spartanburg, I need to remind you that you will not be able to judge in this event but we can assign you to other duties to help assist. Please let me know in advance.
Also, please remember not to fraternize with the cook teams or enter their cooking area on Saturday morning until all judging is officially over with. After all judging has been completed, I encourage you to go out and talk with the cook teams and thank them.
The awards ceremony will be held at 2:00 PM, on the main stage. Please make plans to stay if you can.
