We are just a few days away and I just got off the phone with the The Ohio BBQ Store! Will is a big supporter of Ohio BBQ and Ohio teams who get the calls week after week.

This contest doesn't happen without Nicole Dennison-Owensby answering my texts and sponsors like Will, Gene and Gene from Heidi's Towing, Aaron and Hank from Mister Brisket, Inc., Todd Dennison and BBQraft coming in with some great merch and cash support and the folks at Select Signs made the shirts, signs, stickers and banners.

Finally, Pit Boss Grills for sending equipment for our GriddleMaster Friday night comp.
