I love Lake Placid in the summer. As a matter of fact I love Lake Pacid anytime of year. I wish I could go.

ETA: FYI Just West then North of Lake Placid is a very nice, small state camp ground on Fish Lake. Very clean, quiet remote place.

Here is a press release for the contest, I was interviewed last week. I don't remember saying what I was quoted, some was language that I wouldn't use.


Barbeque Festivals Lip Smackin’ Good and Fun

The Lake Placid Olympic speedskating oval and the village of Lake Placid will be filled with the savory aroma of wood smoke and barbeque when barbeque teams from around the country come to Lake Placid, N.Y. to compete in the inaugural Lake Placid, NY—I Love Barbeque Festival (ILBBQF), July 3 and 4. Gates open each day at 10 a.m. and admission is $5.00 and children under 12 free.

The art of the barbeque is believed to have originated in the Caribbean where Indians used gratings of wood over a slow fire to cook their meat. It’s thought that the American barbeque began in the late-1880’s, during Western cattle drives, when cowboys began cooking tough and stringy meat like brisket, beef ribs, venison and even goat, for five to seven hours to tenderize it.

Barbequing has come a long way since its early days and is now thought to be summer’s right of passage. Three out of every four American homes own a grill, either gas or charcoal.

“I think that people are getting back to their roots, and this seems to be an extension of that,â€

Would love to join you up there Rich - but a little to far for a mid-week cook and the money just ain't there for another contest.

Found me some interesting accomidations for the night before the comp.
They've got some guest cabins and it's only 3 miles from Lake Placid.
The owner won't be competeing because that weekend is his busiest of
the year.



The cook-off site will be in the lower right area of this photo...

Yeah about a week to see the pics with the dial up. But I'm not as old as you so I don't need the bigger pics. I can make the smaller ones out just fine bet you had to put your cheaters on to read this :razz:

 

[oompappy]

Oh, I'll have lots of pics.
I was kinda hoping Joker would be out there taking undercover
photos of gas hook-ups. LOL
