There's a KCBS competition in Richmond in 3 weeks and I'm planning on attending. I've never been to one and have no idea what to expect, so I'm looking for some tips on what to expect and do while there.
Any help would be appreciated.
Will there be samples. If so free of for a contribution?
What type of vendors?
Will there be any factory reps for any equipment or accessories?
How about "how to" talks by pitmasters?
Are adult beverages normally available?
Will there be any equipment deals there? But I really don't need anything anyway...

And I wish I had a shirt that said something like "Want to learn to smoke meat better? Visit AMAZINGRIBS.COM"
