Thank you for participating in the Pickin’ & Piggin’ in the Saluda Shoals Park
A big shout out to all the cook teams and judges that participated in the 12th Annual Pickin’ & Piggin’ in the Park. I want to thank everyone for a very successful event. We could not have pulled it off with each and every one of you folks. A big thanks to Jim Wellman for having us again this year, he always takes such good care of the cook teams and judges.

Our first-place winner in the Butts category was Bold Branch BBQ Boys and the second-place winner was Monkey Bottom Boys, third-place went to Blowin' Smoke, Pimp My Pig was fourth and fifth place went to Blazin’ Bullets Barbeque.

In the Rib category first place went to Pimp My Pig, in second-place was Backwoods Bar-B-Que, third-place went to Mac’s Lunch BBQ Team and fourth-place went to S’Lowcountry Q. Congratulations to all that got a call!

A special thanks to the judges that performed these special assignments for me: Rod Nixon, Assistant Marshal (who did an excellent job); Mike Sexton, Calculator; My Table Captions Helen Hall, Danny Watts, Mark Palasek, and Steve Ginsberg; Novice Instructor, Sammy Shuford; The folks on the Receiving Table, Sam Hardy and Margo Seddon; Horn Blower, Doug Jaquays; and The Runners

Great job every one! Hope to see you all next year.
