Title: Something special this year at BBQ on the River-Paducah KY
Post by: KyNola on August 18, 2017, 02:28:04 PM
Today I was informed that Melissa Cookston will be at BBQ on the River all 3 days.  Melissa owns Memphis BBQ Co and is the winningest woman in BBQ competitions, including 2 Grand Champion titles at Memphis in May and 5 consecutive whole hog championships at Memphis in May plus numerous other championships.  She will be doing some demos for the general public but on Friday she will be doing 2 "invitation only" demonstrations.  Our group is on the invitation list!

Just got a chance to log in and check in for the first time in a long time due to heavy work load. Can't wait to see this demo. We'll be in by Thursday so Judy can judge desserts again this year. Can't wait to see everyone. :)

I was hoping to get to meet Melissa Cookston and boy did I along with everyone else in our group.  When she wasn't fulfilling her appearance obligations she spent her time at our home base! 8)
