Wrong names announced at NC BBQ Festival
SPENCER — The wrong winners were inadvertently announced last weekend at the 2011 Salisbury Rowan BBQ Festival in Spencer.
The correct winners are:
First place — Patterson Porkery, Chase Overcash
Second place — Team Smoky Lane, Keith Lane
Third place — Holy Smoke Team, Jeff Swicegood
People’s Choice — Blowin’ Smoke, Jack Moore (first) and Holy Smoke, Jeff Swicegood (second)
Pitmaster’s Award — Holy Smoke, Jeff Swicegood
“It is to the embarrassment of the SCA Foundation, the sponsors and the competitors that it happened,” said George Busby, coordinator for the festival and director of the Salisbury Cultural Arts Foundation.
Busby said it’s taken him all week to find, correlate and correct the paper trail to determine the exact winners.
“I must personally take ultimate responsibility for the error and promise to put in effect proper safeguards for 2012,” he said in a press release.
All competitors have been notified by phone or email, and the winners are
posted on the BBQ Festival website, he said.
“Although there is no cash prize attached to any award, the integrity of the competition awards is paramount in importance to all,” Busby said.
Next year, the event will be even better, he said.
