Special Announcement
-
We are proud to
announce a collaboration with the USA BBQ Championship in Laughlin, NV in
November.
Don Laughlin, developer
of Laughlin, NV and owner of Riverside Casino that hosts the USA BBQ
Championship, was born and raised right here in Steele County, MN.
Through the generosity of Mr. Laughlin and the co-operation of Ron Cates
from Smoke on the Water - organizer of USA BBQ Championship, we are now
able to enhance our prize package.
The Grand Champion of Smokin' in Steele will receive a free entry into
the USA BBQ Championship plus have a free room at Riverside Casino
during the event.
That is in addition to our own cash payout, ticket to the American Royal
Invitational, and a bung to be MN rep. for the Jack.
So what is the big deal
about the USA BBQ Championship? It is a $ 100,000 contest and their
grand champ gets a new truck! And that my friends is a very big deal.
So come have fun with us this spring and compete for a chance for free
entry and lodging at one the biggest contests in all of BBQ.

of our performers.
