The team for this event includes Elaine Latten as Assistant Marshal and Vincent Latten as Calculator.
Starting on Friday night there is an Anything But competition with turn in at 7 pm. If you are available and would like to help with this you are more than welcome to join us. There will be live entertainment on Friday evening.
We start Saturday with our judges meeting at 9 am promptly. Please make every effort to be on time as we have a lot to review.
If you have judged in Chester before, our judging location is the same as last year. We are now in the Chester Clemson Extension/Market building at 116 Columbia St. Chester, SC 29706. There is limited parking next to the building, and more across the street.
We currently have a strong list of cooks participating, with the possibility of a more additions before the week is over.
We will be judging 2 categories Saturday, so please come hungry! We will start with Butts at the usual time of 10:00 am, followed by Ribs at 11:00 am.
Please let me know if you will be receiving your apron or advancing to Senior or Master judge so we can have the proper supplies.
Remember, if you have a family member cooking you cannot judge, but there will be other duties you can perform. Please let me know if you fall into this category.
Prior to judging, do not fraternize with the cooks. There is no reason to walk through the cookers area prior to judging and I am asking you to please stay away from the cookers before the competition. When judging is complete, I encourage you to go out and talk to the teams.
Do not bring your own zip lock bags of any size.…if needed, they will be provided
We have 2 events this weekend, and most of our active judges are stretched between the two events. If you have signed up to judge in Chester, I need to know as soon as possible if your plans have changed. With Chester being a small event, we have just the number of judges needed. If you don’t show up, we will be in a very precarious situation. It is imperative that you let me know before Friday if you are not going to be able to judge on Saturday.
The awards ceremony is scheduled for 2:00pm.
Again, thank you so much for signing up to judge in Chester. It should be a fun and exciting time for everyone.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
