This year's contest was Sept. 29 -
Oct. 1, 2006. As in previous years, Oinktoberfest was again part of
Western New York's biggest family event, the Great
Pumpkin Farm's Fall Festival.
An added bonus this year was 11 barbecue vendors making this a true
taste of BBQ, the first ever in WNY.
Saturday's competition was again a Kansas City Barbeque Society
(KCBS) sanctioned event and additionally was an official NY State
Championship. Teams were judged and scored according to KCBS
guidelines and rules. Food categories included: chicken, pork ribs,
pork
butt/shoulder, beef brisket. The scores of these four categories
determined the Grand Champion. Additional categories were any side dish
and dessert. Results are HERE.
This year, Sunday's event was renamed the Backyarders'
competition, reflecting the fact that everyone can be a bbqer, they
just have to cook outdoors. All were invited to enter. Grilling,
smoking, frying, baking, anything was acceptable. Categories included
ribs, sausage, chicken wings, any side dish and dessert. Results will
be available soon.
