Our Judges' Meeting will begin at 9:00 on Saturday. Judging will be done in a tent overlooking the Beaufort River at the festival site (previously known as Whitehall Plantation). Novice judges will get judging credit towards certification. If Beaufort is your fourth judging you will get your apron here. If you are due to receive an apron or hat (Senior or Master) and did not already post that when you signed up to judge, please e-mail me so we can have the correct items on hand. If you need to fill a Marshal Requirement, please let me know so I can assign you that duty.
Judging butts will begin at 9:50. Judging ribs will begin at 10:50.
