james loves themThe annual Newnan / Coweta "Up in Smoke" BBQ Cookoff turned four this year and it's already the largest bbq event in the southeast. Nearly three thousand people came through the gates today, and I believe I shook hands with each and every one of them. This was our first ever public event trying to sell our art work. An unbelievable amount of hours of work went into this for us, yet we managed to pull it off. We met a lot of nice people and made plenty of good connections, passed out lots of cards, had a great time, and and ate a ton of unbelievable food. I must say, I was surprised by the great spirit and attitudes of all the people I met, thanks to everyone who stopped by and said hello...
Sorry there weren't more pictures, but we were a little bit busy....

I wish I could have been there with you guys! Looks like a resounding success on all fronts. Much love, all around.
Looks like fun. James is getting so big! Makes me miss you all.
Looks like fun! I wish I could have made it down there to set up with you guys. Maybe next year. There's one up here in Auburn soon that I might try to do.
We miss you too Heart of Gold Plate, Steve-o and Bean too. He is getting big. So is Patrick. Soon my little boys will be men and I will just have to share yours like you did mine.

It was fun, there were so many people I thought I was going to become claustrophobic....
Perry Perry - Rebecca said you are in big trouble! She isn't pleased with her photographic debut. PUnishment to follow later.
Haha... I got the horns from my momma!!!
Looks like you all had a fun day.
Now you know how to set up your displays and sell products.Although looking at them they would sell themselves.
Where did your momma get the horns Charlotte?
