Dear Prospective Judge,

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


This will be a "two day" event on September 1st through September 2nd 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. What a day this will be and we need your participation 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
