I hope there's a longest distance award.

Jonathan, will you be attending this event?

[Jonathan]

Just booked a flight. I didn't even get to the park this year so things are going to look very different.

[Jarsh]

Thankfully Jarsh will remind us here, it will be on Facebook, and I'll probably get an email. Between one of those I'll remember...

I'm just glad someone reads them, lol.

Awesome to hear! And you're right... you're in for a shock.

If I don't, my wife reminds me - 'Did you see that ACE Southeast post about..?' She's got your back.

[FamousAmos]

Some of you I'll be meeting for the first time. I really enjoy talking to all of you guys and I am excited for this event.

A little over 2 1/2 weeks left for mail in registrations!

FYI: The menu is called "Taste Of Carolina." Any guesses as to what that consist of? I'll let ya know the complete menu soon!

[Tawny71]

I posted my guess on fb, and it started a BBQ war. So I'll withhold any more guesses to keep from starting drama.

[Jonathan]

My registration was just submitted and mustard barbecue is an abomination. Still delicious. But on the general scale of barbecue deliciousness, an abomination.

How bout some banana pudding? Always appropriate.

If the bar is open perhaps a little Cheerwine and rum combo, also known as a "Nature Boy."

When I was around 13 or so ('81 or '82) my family went to Carowinds that summer. On our way home, we stopped at the KFC just outside the gate. In the parking lot was Ric Flair and Roddy Piper eating chicken on the hood of Ric's corvette.
Good times.

^That's pretty cool!
My husband's birthday was last week, and as his gift, I got him a VIP package for the WWE event here in Charlotte on Dec. 7. I was kinda hoping Ric Flair would be one of the WWE Superstars we got to meet, but he wasn't there. We did get to do the meet and greet with Charlotte (Ric Flair's daughter), so that was cool.

As for mustard BBQ, it just sounds odd to me.

[Prongfan]

Mustard based barbecue is delicious!
Of course, I haven't met a barbeque style I don't like yet.

[Jarsh]

So far I've posted two of the five sets of items. Here's what I've announced so far:

Local Carolina cheese
Blue Crab Ceviche

Brunswick Stew over Carolina Gold rice
Seafood Gumbo over Carolina Gold rice

Three more "sets" to go!

[FamousAmos]

I heard there will be auctions. I'm assuming the auction stuff will include parts of the deceased entrance, like the Carowinds sign on the border, etc. But I also heard that there will be giveaways.

[Prongfan]

What's the deadline to buy tickets online?
I haven't run across it yet?
