Mark,
We were there, and as you said, it was a blast! Even the rain held off Saturday long enough to get all the judging and prizes handed out. We sampled 39 red and 27 green! Our picks for the salsa and green won first places, and red came in 2nd! I have NEVER blown smoke in so many flavors!!!!
It was enough to take my mind off the damage to my 03 F150 from hail on Thursday here in Pueblo....Looks like a Spaulding (dimpled golf ball) F150 now.....I got hit 4 times with the hail, up to around golf ball size ! ! !
