Congratulations to Brent and Holliday Flowers, designers of our Ques Brothers booth. The judges came by at 11 AM yesterday to have a look, and we were told the Tunisian judge in particular was impressed with the booth’s authenticity. At 8 PM the awards were announced, and we brought home a second-place trophy. Congrats to Brent on a beautiful booth, and wherever we display that trophy, be sure to save room for a BBQ trophy to go next to it. Here are some highlights from yesterday.
We wanted our cooks to take it easy yesterday, so we brought in special guest cook Air Traffic Mike.

Complete album (192 pics) here. Whew. I am worn out. My feet are already aching and I have two days left to go. It’s 9 AM as I type this. Time to throw my Ques Brothers team shirt in the laundry, take a shower, recharge the camera and iPhone batteries, go through the 119 new e-mails in my Inbox, and do whatever other pre-BBQ Fest things need to be done. Saucer at 11, BBQ Fest at 11:30. If I have time before 11 I’ll do another post.
