Saluda Shoals Park/ Pickin’ & Piggin’ In The Park
Irmo, SC, May 2, 2015
The location for this cook off is beautiful Saluda Shoals Park located at
5605 Bush River Rd., Columbia, SC (GPS address). The report time for judges is 9:00 am (park opens at 7:00 am). We will be judging Butts at 10:00 am. Please inform me if you will be receiving your apron or other judging status (Senior or Master) so that I can ensure that I have your apron or hat to present to you for your hard work. If you have already indicated this on the website sign-up, you do not need to contact me. Please be on time so that we may make table assignments, discuss the grazing table rules and present aprons/hats.
PLEASE NOTE: The picnic tables that we judge on are made of heavy metal with the table tops having holes and are not good for writing. I suggest that you BRING A CLIPBOARD to place your scoring sheet on to make it easier to record your scores. Also, please bring your calculator.
Do not go to the cooker area before the judging other than to use the restroom. Do not visit any teams before the judging.
The picnic shelter that we are using is named “Paw-Paw”. When you come in the main gate of the park, you may have to stop at the Park Entrance Station (if an attendant is on duty). Tell them that you are a Judge with the SCBA for the BBQ Cook Off. You will not have to pay a park entrance fee per JIM WELLMAN. If no attendant, go thru the Entrance Station then bear RIGHT. Stay on this road for a short distance, you will cross over a bridge. A short distance from the bridge is the Paw-Paw Picnic Shelter located on your LEFT. Turn left into the drive and you will see the large picnic shelter (open sides). There is ample parking. If you miss this turn, the next turn to the left will take you to the location of the cookers. You cannot park there.
There are no Friday night activities at this event.
We look forward to seeing each of you. The park is beautiful this time of year. There will be a live Bluegrass Band performing on the Grandstand when the event opens to the public at about 11:00 am. Stay after the judging and enjoy the BBQ, the Park and the Band.
