Pork in the Park 2011 Behind the Scenes

by Brian Meagher : 04/19/2011

Pork in the Park 2011, the Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) sanctioned Maryland State Championship

Held in Salisbury, Maryland on April 15 – 17, 2011, it is the second largest KCBS sanctioned event in the country, and the largest on the East Coast. This year it was a success despite the weather.

Here’s how we spent our day there:

We arrived on Saturday April 16th on a windy, blustery, and very busy day in the competition area. Teams were running to get the pork turn-in done on time.

For the first time in our 4 years attending, we were able to get into the judges tent for a few pictures. It was amazingly quiet. We got in just as they were beginning to judge the pork entries – the next-to-last turn in, to be followed by the brisket.

From Groupable.com:

Let’s hear it for the dads. We got a lot of buzz from our Mother’s Day “moms group” study, so today we’re announcing our list of the most active and influential dad-related groups. This year’s list focuses on groups involved with one of the most traditional Father’s Day activities – the backyard barbecue. The Top 10 list ranks BBQ groups who are among the most engaged within their socio-demographic target and who have the greatest potential to influence buying decisions.

Based on our proprietary Groupability Index, influence ratings take into account Groupable’s sponsorship activity data as well as activity from a variety of social media data points including Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Klout Score, blogs, and podcasts. The index rating is calculated based upon aggregate scores in the following categories: authenticity, engagement and relevance.

Barbecues and dads go hand-in-hand on Father’s Day. The barbecue is one of the oldest cooking methods known to man. It’s a primal, social and unifying experience, and it smells good, too. Dads who are part of these groups are passionate and influential about the art and enjoyment of this activity. These are the types of groups brands like to reach. Brands can use Groupable’s ratings as a filter to find groups that will be both responsive to marketing initiatives as well as influential in spreading the word of these brand experiences.
Brochin notes that a group’s collective influence and ability to spread a message can reach a much wider audience as compared to that of an individual. “It’s about knowing which groups to engage with so as to maximize word-of-mouth equity,” Brochin says. “The Groupability Index provides marketers with a single reference point that captures a group’s ultimate influence potential.”

People Are Asking “Where are the Hot Sauce Reviews?”

I’ve been writing a lot about BBQ lately, probably because I’ve got Spring Fever and with the “every-other-day” of warm weather here in Maryland, I’m getting jazzed about cooking and barbecueing and smoking outside.

I’m planning a full month of BBQ reviews, recipes and goodies for a “May is National BBQ Month” series. If you’d like to be included with your recipe, or pics, or website, leave a Comment below. Maybe you could be a Guest Blogger!

But I assure you, dear friends and chileheads, I have lots of Hot Sauce reviews up my sleeve too.
