I always try to go to this show just for the tri-tip. I don't think you can out do what Bev and Cindy do. They float garlic bread, and must roast 100 lbs. of marinated tri-tip. The party often ends with Cindy and Sharlonna on guitar singing folk songs, and has been the highlight of the show season for years now. If you want to travel to but one show, do this one for the party. I am sorry I had to miss it this year, I decided to stay home and not get pneumonia. It sure came up at the wrong time, but I understand Tedi had a good time, and I also heard the judging was great. I also heard of a GQ daughter that went Best Puppy both days that is a world beater. Try not to miss this show if it can be done.
