I had applied to judge at this contest since it was to be held about half an hour from where I grew up and where my parents still live. Today, I received this email:
Dear BarBQ Lover:
"Thank you for your inquiry and application to judge the Lawrenceburg Kiwanis Club & Prichard’s Sweet Lucy Tennessee State Championship BBQ Cookoff on June 24-25, 2011.
Due to current economic conditions and, particularly the price of gasoline, we regretfully have had to cancel the Lawrenceburg Kiwanis Club 2011 Tennessee State Championship Cookoff. We appreciate you for your support, your loyalty and your dedication to making our Cookoff one of the best Contests in the KCBS World."
Very sad.
