Alright ladies and gentleman it is that time again! Last year SmokinAl and myself organized the South Florida Gathering at Fish Eating Creek in Palmdale. Here is a link to the area. http://www.fisheatingcreekoutpost.com/
I had a great time meeting and cooking with everyone and i hope to see the same faces back there as well as many others. We had a great turn out for our first gathering...when we first started planning it, it looked like it would only be me and Al sitting there with our smokers...but we ended up with between 25-30 attendees!
There is a lot more to plan and organize so stand tuned! But i wanted to go ahead a get the word out there and get the excitement started! Last year was GREAT, let's make this year AWESOME!
More to come:
- attendee sign up list
- competition information
- meal plannning
- and much more!
I'm going to contact the campground staff because last year they had so much fun having us there they wanted to work with us this year. there was mention of a local band, discounts and more!
So for now...so please post up if your interested in attending.
Right now the Date is going to be November 9-11
This gives us plenty of time after Halloween and enough time before Thanksgiving! If there is a big contention to change the date we can certainly do that!

Lastly this is not just intended for South Florida Folk! Anyone on here is welcome! We had people come from the Panhandle and Jacksonville last year! Let's see if we can get some farther away people this year :)
