Chiliheads, JB here from Jungle Jim's and the Week End of Fire. No, I am not Jungle Jim and no I am not Brett Vitek, but I have learned a lot from both of them over the last 25 years. I have some big shoes to fill this year and will be leaning on a lot of you for your expertise and support. I am thrilled to be associated with an event of this magnitude, and excited at some of the events and good times we have planned.
Many of you have asked for a listing of who is attending the show so I've added it to the bottom of this e-mail. This year, the show will feature over 55 booths with sampling of hot sauces, BBQ sauces, salsas, mustards, spices and even Italian Ice. We are expecting over 3,000 attendees this year! The Bloggers booth and participation will be an integral part of the show. The bloggers will be:
1.Managing the National Salsa Contest Finals
2. Assisting with our "Step Up For Charity" Fund by selling product samples, donations, over runs and miss-labels for the charity. This is the Charity spearheaded by the Mild to Wild Sauce Company (WildPepper.com).
3. Adding to the fun and excitement of the show.
Oh and for our vendor partners let's not forget the Friday night cocktail party at The Oscar Event Center featuring an open bar and complimentary appetizers beginning at 5:00 p.m., or the continental breakfast Saturday and Sunday mornings in the Oscar meeting room.
Some new additions to the show (including the salsa contest) include having four portable restaurants set up in front of The Oscar Event Center during show hours selling BBQ food and roasted peppers and a brand new Harley Davidson Bike sitting in the main entry way! The infamous Defcon Hot Wing Eating Contest at Buffalo Wings and Rings will begin about 7:00 on Saturday Night along with a wrap-up dinner at Papadeux's Restaurant on Sunday night. Wow, what a power packed week end of fire!! Looking forward to meeting all of you on August 1st and 2nd.
