I received this email and request to post. Perry's a good man who has brought a lot of people and talent to this area. If you see him on the street, be sure to stop and say hi and tell him thanks.

First of all, I would like to thank all the volunteers and sponsors for
their hard labor and funding of the 2nd Annual Big Island Barbeque.
A project this huge could not be done without their support and long hours
of devotion.
Being only two years old, this event has had tremendous growth. With that
growth there are always new challenges.
We are addressing those challenges and will correct them.
We have plans for advanced ticket sales, more ticketing locations, and
simpler ticketing options for the public, to name a few.
Iowa's largest BBQ contest is Mason City and has been produced for 5 or more
years. They had 61 teams this year and we had 57 teams our 2nd year.
We will continue to add new ideas and management techniques to enhance your
BBQ experience each year.
Please make plans to attend the 3rd Annual BIB the last weekend in August
2010.
