3rd Annual Downtown Mesa BBQ Classic
Wow, another successful and fun Barbeque Championship Series (BCS) & AZBarbeque comp in the books. It was a great weekend. The Weather was perfect, lots of families came out and competed and enjoyed the event.
A HUGE THANK YOU goes out to my Amazing Wife Kelly for all she does for these events. She does so much before the event and during the event behind the scenes that goes unnoticed by many, so want to give her some HUGE Props.
Thank you to the City of Mesa and the Downtown Mesa Association for Sponsoring this event and providing such a great venue and support. The team of people they have working on this event to make it what it is, is very impressive. From the planning group to the installation and tear down of the infrastructure, they were right there making sure it was all done right and professionally. A truly great group to work with and a be a part of.
Thank you to all our AZBarbeque and Barbeque Championship Series Team and Volunteers who came out and worked this event to make it such a great success.
Thanks to all the BBQ Teams, Judges and Public who came out and supported the event.
