Nick Nicholas and Kerrie Hall, from the Lakeland Pig Fest Organizing Committee were great.  They explained a lot about how much the event, especially the Backyard BBQ portion, means locally in terms of bringing BBQ lovers and local cooks together to share the love of BBQ.   As a testament to the national draw of the Lakeland Pig Festival, Mr. Ray Lampe – known to many as Dr. BBQ – was also in attendance.  He’s been involved with the Pig Festival from the start, and is a valued and greatly appreciated local BBQ resource.  (By the way, check out Dr. BBQ’s videos over at Firecooker.com, and add some of your own there, too!)

The local teams in attendance were Whiskey Bent BBQ from Lakeland and Team Unknown BBQ from Winter Haven.  Each of these award-winning teams always provide a lot of great information and personality to any meet up, and if you make it to the Pig Festival, you should definitely check them out.

Q &A Opportunity With Organizers from the 2010 Lakeland Pig Festival

Several of the Lakeland Junior League’s organizers for the 2010 Lakeland Pig Festival have agreed to be present for an informal BBQ related Tweet Up at Good Buddies BBQ in Downtown Lakeland, FL on Saturday December 19, 2009 from 11:00 AM to around 1:00 PM.  I’ve already heard from a few local BBQ cook teams who plan to be there, including the guys from Team Unknown BBQ and Whiskey Bent BBQ.   I can’t imagine a better venue to get some questions answered about the Lakeland Pig Fest and hang out with some of the local BBQ teams and fans than this.

If you’re in the Lakeland area around December 19th, consider dropping by Good Buddies.  Joel and company over at Good Buddies BBQ, will have their top quality ‘cue ready to eat, and there’s a slim chance you’ll be able to enjoy an adult beverage or two with some friends and fellow BBQ fans as well.
