It’s official….

Don’t be afraid, it’s really not that big an issue….

Nonetheless, in what seems like an annual tradition, at least for those who have been to the West Coast BBQ Championships before, we are once again on the move.

This time we are moving farther West!

A whopping FOUR blocks to be exact.

Our new digs offers us more shade, better judging accommodations, and hopefully more obstruction of the notorious Fairfield wind. This also means for teams who were with us last year and have requested to be placed in the same spot, chances are extremely unlikely that you will get it, and if you did, not only are you facing a very very long walk to turn in’s, but an enormous amount of solitude as if you were an outcast from the rest of the BBQ family, which is not what we want.

For the last several years we have been in the general area of Jefferson street at Texas:

One of the main reasons for this move is the building in the top right of the image above *could potentially* be demolished around the time of the contest.  If this indeed becomes the case, the possibility of dust or debris affecting the contestants and their entries would be HUGE. A risk far beyond what we are willing to accept.

In 2009 we will be re-locating to Taylor street at Texas.

For those that have been to the contest during its inaugural year in Fairfield this is right about where it all started. We look forward to seeing you there.
