    Hog Wild Festival & BBQ Championship was held on March 12 & 13 in Mobile Alabama. It was the 9th year for the Festival and was held at the Greater Gulf State Fairgrounds by United Cerebral Palsy of Mobile. They held a Seafood dinner for all competitors on Thursday the 11 and had a silent auction to benefit the United Cerebral Palsy of Mobile.

    On Saturday there were 3 different competitions...Pro teams, Semi-Pro teams and Backyard. From 11am-2pm, the Backyard Competitors were involved in a People's Choice contest....the public could pay $5. to sample the teams BBQ and then voted on their favorite. The money collected went to the UCP.

    This was, by far, the BEST contest we have ever attended. The UCP of Mobile was SO professional, there were hook-ups for every team that needed them, the grounds were immaculate ( except when the wind took over), and there was PLENTY of space...they could easily accomodate 200+teams, the KCBS Reps were available 24/7 and teams were kept informed at all times of what was happeneing. Thank You UCP of Mobile and KCBS!

Rich's Mom and Dad met us in Mobile on the 11th and brought their RV.....what a wonderful thing!!! We had showers and a comfortable place to sleep....not something that we are used to at competitions!

Rich's Mom Linda sold her jewelry over the weekend and did well. She has created some new "pig" jewelry and quite a few of the KCBS judges took advantage of her being there and purchased some. I have brought some new jewelry back with me to sell at the restaurant .....stop in a take a peek.
