The trophy corner is coming together. At least they are all in the same area now. Hopefully Janelle Koster and I will add to it this year.

Well the weekend is almost here. If you don't have any plans come to Vermillion on Saturday for the BBQ competition. Smoke'em Out BBQ will be there with 14 other teams. $10.00 gets you a people's choice vote and you can try all the teams. The people's choice meat is pork loins. This should be a fun one I have never done pork loin foe a competition. We serve the public from 3:30-4:40. The fair grounds in vermillion are across from the Ford dealership. Hopefully I will see some familiar faces this weekend.
