Still plenty of space left. The event is coming together very nicely! Please let me know if you want an application.
 
Hello Ryan, I'm in Peoria and would be interested. It would be my first competition, so looking for something fun and casual. Would likely only go for a couple of categories, tops. Can you direct me somewhere for more information?
 
Bryan,

I emailed you the registration form. I think this event will be perfect for you. It will be a more casual and laid back event than some others. We are hoping for some first timers! Let me know if you have any questions.
 
We are starting to get a lot of interest in our competition. Please let me know if you want me to email you an application. The spots will fill up quickly.
 
Ryan, I'd like for you to send me an application. I'm hoping to have my new smoker by then and this sounds like a great opportunity to fire it up.
 
The registration forms are starting to come in fast. If anyone would like to get in before we are full let me know and I will send you the forms.
 
Jeremy,

Thanks! I will keep an eye out for it. You will be allowed to have adult beverages at your cooking area if you are careful about it. Please use cups and don't overdo it. I was told the police will look the other way as long as it doesn't get out of hand. This is pretty common procedure though for these events. I don't think there will be any issues.
