Q-Fest 2014 Submitted by Steve Wilson California BBQ Association ?February 7, 8, 9?East Shore RV, Lake Puddingstone ?San Dimas, California When invited to a barbecue most are excited to head to a party that is going to serve up some great food hot off the grill, have a few beverages and a great time with family and friends. CBBQA members and friends experience great BBQ throughout the year but a special event that we affectionately call Q-Fest is the opportunity to enjoy great BBQ and friends outside a competition setting while celebrating team accomplishments and honoring those that have made exceptional contributions to and for the CBBQA. On Friday, February 7th the party began at the East Shore RV Park inside Frank. G. Bonelli Regional Park in San Dimas, CA. Bill Keyes, (Tropical Heat) and I were the first ones to arrive and had made plans to also attend the NHRA Winternational Drag Races just a few miles away from the Q-Fest site. By the time we returned the party was well underway with two bonfires blazing and about 50 folks from our BBQuemunity all set up. Kevin and Debbie O’Grady (Royal Smokin Hot BBQ) had their margarita machine working and offered all a choice of leaded or unleaded margaritas. Our host for the 17th consecutive year, Dan Cannon (BBQ By Dan), announced that dinner would be served. Dale and Tammy Ginos (When Pigs Fly) had set up tables in their camp to host the Friday night Dinner buffet. There were many items to choose from while taking a sample of each resulted in a very full plate. The creativeness of our members in the kitchen must be commended. A dessert table was set up with more amazing treats. After dinner, everyone made their way back to the bonfires. Tim McDonald (Rusty Barrel BBQ) and family supplied a pickup truck full of firewood to keep the fire pits burning for the whole weekend. Most folks attending spent the remainder of the evening socializing, talking, laughing and enjoying the company of friends. One of the biggest highlights of Q-Fest is skunk sightings at night. Stories are told by anyone who has attended a Q-Fest of skunks searching for scraps throughout the campsites. One story was told about Moe Lyons, (Left Coast Q) staying up all night while cooking a whole hog. It was told that he had to climb on top of their table as he watched 33 skunks or one skunk 33 times invade his campsite. Soon it was time for some rest and people began to retire to their motor homes, trailer and tents. My wife and I slept under our canopy. I can be a light sleeper and was awakened 4 different times throughout the night, twice by skunks, once by a raccoon and lastly by my wife having to use the restroom. During her absence I spotted, some sort of cat streak across my gaze. It was too fast and not enough light to determine exactly what it was, but it managed to keep the skunks away for the rest of the night. Saturday is the big day for Q-Fest. Steve Madaule (All Hogs Go To Heaven) and John Bracamonte, (Brazen BBQ) did a great job cooking bacon and eggs for breakfast. In fact they cooked so much bacon, Steve’s pit erupted with a grease fire hot enough to curl the paint off the top of his smoker. Breakfast had many highlights with biscuits and gravy receiving many accolades. Many day camper people began to arrive Saturday morning. The crowd had more than doubled. At 2pm it was time to eat again. This meal doesn’t get the distinction of being called lunch. Oh no, this extravaganza is called 'early dinner'. With everyone submitting a dish or more, there were many more choices as compared to Friday night dinner. I decided on a new strategy for this meal. There was no way one could sample everything as there was just too many food choices displayed. My strategy was to go light and save myself for the dinner planned for later that evening. The food was incredible. Beef loin, pork loin, chicken, turkey, lasagna, 3 different Mac & Cheeses, salads, desserts and so much more. There were 5 or six tables set up for the buffet, I think I made it to the end of the second table when my plate reached maximum capacity. Todd Eaves, (O.T.W. BBQ) was sitting across from me eating this huge chocolate cake which he gave rave reviews. I had to try it. I go over to the dessert section of the buffet and cut off a small wedge of chocolate cake. I hear Steph Franklin , (Simply Marvelous BBQ) say 'Oh Steve, don’t leave without trying Jamie’s raspberry bars'. I had to try them also. Soon it was time for the CBBQA 2013 ToY and Roy Awards. Our President, Steph Franklin along with a few of the 2013 BOD members presented the awards. Andy Allen (Rooftop BBQ) did a fabulous job in procuring the awards for the 2013 winners. The ToY and RoY awards were colorful flame trophies. Clear acrylic flames of varying sizes etched with the team names were awarded to top finishers in each category. Beautiful plaques also etched with team names were awarded to the remaining top 10 teams. Medals were awarded to the top 20 overall. Rookie of the Year- Son of
Smoke, Zak Galiste Two President’s Service awards were given
for outstanding service to our organization. Donna Fong was the first
recipient. She is a wonderful compassionate person donating time and
energy working for the betterment of the association. Donna’s influence
and rational thinking were a welcome addition to the 2013 BOD where she
served as Vice President. |
