Jeff Rusnak Posted April 28, 2024 Posted April 28, 2024 As always Tom I’ll be there I’m only 10 minutes down the road,haven’t missed a one of the NJBBQ meets always a GREAT MEET NO MATER THE WEATHER !! As Tom has said he’s looking to maybe an indoor location locally for future NJBBQ meets with members helping to keep this GREAT ANNUAL meet going.Its hands down the Best Meet here in the tri state !! Tom n I were just talking last week when we got together to work on fans and we’re thinking that if he gets members who attend the meet regularly volunteer to help out it’d be great and Tom can finally take a well deserved breather and enjoy the meet instead of constantly going during the meet to ensure everyone in attendance is enjoying themselves.Then he can get a break and sit n chat with everyone..I,told him I’m up to the challenge and I’d be great if we can get everyone onboard to keep the NJBBQ going !! Sorry Tom if I’ve stepped on your toes it’s not intentional, but I think everyone needs to be aware of the monumental task of a two day meet !! Cudos to,you Tom !! See Y’all at the NJBBQ May 31st n June 1st… Quote
John Landstrom Posted April 28, 2024 Posted April 28, 2024 As usual, with me living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, I’ll not be able to attend this wonderful east coast event. However I may be able to talk my niece into going in my stead. She lives in upstate N.Y. What town is this being held in? Address? Having this info I’ll be able to Google the distance and she if she”s willing to make the trek. FYI - she’s in Greenwich, NY. Quote
