night and Saturday. It's great to see many of the same judges join us year over year, and to see the new judges from last year return again!
Jeremy Dockendorf - President
Minnesota in May 2021 was one to remember. It was a ton of fun to
bring in more
teams, more
judges, and more con- tests this year. We added two new contests on Friday night to get things started:
We hosted a #TurkeySmoke contest put on by National Turkey Federation - they’re doing big things with KCBS! We also had a One Meat Ribs contest featuring the Compart Family Farms Chal-
lenge. These organi-
zations are great
supporters of BBQ!
Steve Lauer - Director
Kids Que is always a big thing for us as they are the future of our sport. Here Hanna and Sam are busily prepping their dishes. Congrats to all the kids who com- peted this year at MIM!
