Westports Blues Views & BBQ Festival
September 20 & 21, 2008


Dear Prospective Judge,

    Thank you for your interest in the Blues, Views and BBQ competition.

    The will be a “three day” event on September 24th through the 26th in beautiful Westport, CT overlooking the banks of the Saugatuck River.

    On Saturday, we are asking all KCBS judges to participate in one of the largest amateur backyard events in the northeast, with 25 teams competing in our “Cookin’ for a Cause” competition last year. In addition, we would like you to judge our Pro Invitational grilling contest and BBQ throwdown, Iron-Chef Challenge - pros Vs. amateurs. What a day this will be and we need your particiapation to make it come to life.

     There will be music and entertainment throughout the entire event. There will also be plenty of fun for the kids and families to come and enjoy.

    We’d love to have you come out and enjoy the entire festival with us as a visitor and a judge. Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Please fill out the attached application and return it ASAP so we can reserve your seat. Have a super summer season and we look forward to seeing you in September.

Take care and be safe.
Kindest regards,

The Blues, Views and BBQ Organizing Committee
