Welcome everyone.
If you have already sent in your registration, thank you. For those who have not please do so now.
We are looking have another great event this year. We are also looking into having a kids Q, stay tune with more to follow in the next weeks. Attach is the Cooks Packet..
The Second Annual Hudson Valley RibFest, Sponsored by the Highland Rotary Club, will take place August 18, 19, and 20, 2006, at the Ulster County Fairgrounds, in New Paltz, New York.
This is a note to those who have already registered to participate in one or both of our contests, and to folks who have either participated in last year’s contest, or who’ve expressed interest in doing so.
As usual, we shall have a NEBS grilling contest on Saturday, August 19. The KCBS BBQ contest will take place on Sunday, August 20. We are anxious to complete our contest roster, so if you haven’t already done so, log on to our website:
www.hudsonvalleyribfest.org to download the necessary application information and form, and send them in right away to Highland Rotary Club, P.O. Box 723, Highland, NY 12528.

For just $75, we’ll post a special TAIL GATE sign on your grilling site, indicating that you are an approved Tail Gate vendor; you’ll also be located in a prime spot in the cook-off contestant’s area. (Contestants who do not have an official TAIL GATE sign will not be permitted to sell products at the Ribfest).
