Judges Sign-in: 8:45 – 9:00 AM Judges Meeting: 9:00 AM
Thank you for signing up to Judge the 2016 SC Peach Festival BBQ Championship. NEW THIS YEAR we are not in the back corner lot. The BBQ competition will be held along Railroad Avenue directly in front of the Cherokee County Administration building. Judging will take place in the large tent alongside the main entrance on Railroad Avenue. Judges parking will be in the large parking to the far left side as you face the front of the building,
We will be judging Butts and a cooker sponsored Ribs throw-down. The turn-in times are: • 10 am for Butts with the first horn at 9:50 AM final horn at 10:10 AM • 11 am for Ribs with the first horn at 10:50 AM final horn at 11:10 AM
IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
1. Please arrive early to allow enough time to park, find the judging tent, sign in, find your seat and mingle with your fellow judges. 2. Please let us know if you will be receiving your apron or advancing to Senior or Master Judge so we can have the proper supplies. 3. If you have a family member cooking with a team at this event you are not able to sit as a judge. We have other areas where you can help. 4. No fraternizing with the cookers prior to judging. A friendly good morning or good luck as you pass by is ok but do not linger in the cooking area. 5. Be in your seat away from direct line of sight of the receiving table no later than ten (10) minutes before the first horn 9:40 – 9:45. Some cook teams line up by the receiving table several minutes before the first horn and your table captain may have last minute information to pass along. 6. It is HOT in July and we are judging outside; please dress appropriately for the weather and bring extra water.
Directions: From I-85 take either Exit 90 or 92 and head toward downtown Gaffney. Starbucks and Quick Trip are at Exit 90 . Once in Gaffney head NORTH on Hwy 29 (Granard Street); the railroad tracks should be on your immediate right. When the railroad tracks start to pull away, veer to the right to continue on Hwy 29 (Cherokee Ave). Go past the festival site (still on your right) and take the next right to cross over the tracks (E 3rd St). Once over the tracks turn right onto Railroad Ave and follow to the barricade, the parking lot will be on your left. DO NOT park behind the building as you will have a long walk uphill to get to the judges tent and YOUR CAR MAY GET TOWED.
Lastly, we have 70 judges and support staff to manage; if you signed up we count on you arriving on time. If your schedule changes please let us know so we can extend an opportunity to another judge. If you are running late or get lost please call, so we can get you to the event and / or reassign your duties as needed.
We look forward to seeing you at the SC Peach Festival BBQ Championship.
