There are some worries about the ability of wood for traveling teams. See the link above but basically no firewood can be imported into the state. Nor can it be tranported more that 50 miles in the state. I believe comercial wood chips / chunks / dust are OK, this stuff is usually dried in kilms. They are worried about your local cut wood, and stopping the infestation.

We will have wood available for the teams that need it. I am working the details now.

Thats great. Wish we were going. Good luck to everyone

Well heres a first for our team. We are currently plannin on doing the Ottawa comp for the Fri/Sat then right after turn in time we are heading down to the Roc City comp. They were gracious enough to accomodate our late arrival time and have someone available for meat inspection at about 930pm. It should be a really interesting challenge and we are looking forward to it!!!

 

[Griff]

Wow. Diva is doing a double header.

If anyone still needs a hotel room for this comp, we got a good deal through priceline.com: Hyatt Regency Rochester for $73.90. Best rate (no refund) on their website is $135.20.

It is 7 miles from the competition.

To get the same price, or close to it, bid for a 4 star hotel in Rochester Downtown and bid no more than $58.00. I started the bidding at $45 and it offered me a free bid for $13 more.

Nice that the Ottawa comp was cancelled. Will make the whole exercise much easier!
