Peppers at the Beach Update #3

If you frequent the other hot sauce blogs, then you've most likely seen the following update from The Defcon CREATOR John Dilley. Personally, I wanted to get a few other posts (the Pork Barrel BBQ Sauces Review and the Jerky Challenge) "out of the way" first before posting this so that this site wouldn't suffer an noise overload where everything gets lost in the rapid succession of updates. Without further ado, here's an update - a very positive-sounding one, at that - about May's Peppers at the Beach gathering in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
"Here's the Peppers at the Beach update!!
"Ok, I have a major update to the Peppers At The Beach tailgate event, taking place on May 15 - 16 at the Peppers store in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. I have to apologize for the delay, between us here at Defcon HQ and the Peppers team, it's been a little hectic as of late.
"This is how it’s going to work. Many of you had asked if Peppers doesn't currently carry your products, if you could sell them in the parking lot. I totally understand the position, as does Chip at Peppers. You WILL be able to sell your products in the parking lot. If Peppers carries specific product(s) or yours, they will be able to purchase them inside the Peppers store. Any product(s) in your line that Peppers doesn't carry, can be sold in the parking lot as well.
"As this is more of a huge tailgate party, there will NOT be electricity available, but if you want, bring a grill to serve up stuff to the masses. Also, products have to be professional products, either made by a co-packer, or otherwise FDA approved. We’re trying to avoid “bathtub products” that could be harmful due to wrong packaging processes being used.
"This should be a lot of fun. There is no telling the exact attendance, as this is the first year of the event, but it will give you a good chance to get some face time with the public, and let them know your products. If they don’t know you exist, they won’t buy from you.
"I will give more updates as time goes on, I just wanted to answer the main questions that people had. If you have specific questions, either email me (john@defconsauces.com) or Chip Hearn (chip@peppers.com). I look forward to meeting a bunch of you and sharing a couple of beers. There will be no raindate for this, so pray for good weather."
- John "Creator" Dilley

That being said, I'm looking for a good turnout. The fact all vendors can bring their grills, means a TON of good food will be served up. I look forward to seeing a bunch of you guys there!
