Hudson and I drove over for the day to help him.  He entered all 3 categories: chicken, ribs and brisket. James from work was helping out too  It went pretty smoothly, got everything plated and to the judges in time.  Other people were cooking and handing out samples of cracklings, kabobs and sausage.
