Another year of Kora Shrine Kare for Kids Ride-In is officially in the books, and I think this one was the best yet! 🙌

The #1 priority for the weekend was raising money for the kids, and I think we all knocked it out of the park.

Huge shoutout to Chad and Nicole at Humphrey's BBQ for putting on the Rib Auction Saturday, which raised more than $25,000! 🔥💰. All of the BBQ teams cooked ribs for the KCBS One Meat competition, and then each team’s leftover ribs were auctioned off. If you haven’t experienced the Rib Auction yet, you definitely need to come out next year!

We thought we had a strong cook this weekend, but apparently the judges had other ideas. That’s the game we play!
11th Chicken
2nd Ribs
25th Pork
30th Brisket
7th Overall out of 51 kick-ass teams. Congrats Old Virginia Smoke on GC and smoke.sisters.barbecue_ on RGC!

Special shoutout to Darren Warth! IYKYK. 🤪

Twenty-five trips to the 700 Club.

That’s a lot of outstanding barbeque in one weekend.

Twenty-five scores of 700 or better were recorded at KCBS-sanctioned contests, led by Colorado Bulldawg BBQ with a 710.2628.

Congratulations to every team that crossed the 700-point benchmark this week. Those scores were earned one box at a time in front of KCBS Certified Barbeque Judges.

Welcome to the 700 Club.
