If you want to find out what is going on in the world of Arizona barbecue then I highly recommend you visit Arizona’s #1 BBQ Club and make some plans to visit their cook-offs, festivals, restaurants and everything else they offer.  Oh yeah, let’s not forget the great forums they have covering a wide range of bbq topics.  Great job guys.

In fact, following some of these tips my actually increase your bbq event attendance.

  • Please make the date of your festival easy to find.  In fact make a graphic if possible and place it in the upper part of your page so that no scrolling or searching needs to be done to see the date.
  • When you do your date information, please include the year.  I realize most of these websites are meant of communicating locally but there are a great number of people that seek out bbq events and actually plan trips around these events.  If I see a date but no year then I may be inclined to wonder if the site is current and if I cant find any indication that it is I will just move on.
  • Place a link to a location page that shows a map and provides some information on the local area.  This is especially good if you are hoping to attract out of towners to your event.
  • Take the music off the site.  It may sound nice to you, but to the average website viewer it is very annoying. There is really no need to have a banjo playing while someone is visiting your website

These are just a couple tips to help those that come across your bbq event website and want to attend…………  do you have any tips to ad?  Would love to hear them.

With 30 teams from across the country participating for a share of the $10,000 in cash and prizes, it was a huge success. The event was a chance to give back to the community and was sponsored by the Special Olympics and New Belgium with a portion of the proceeds going directly to their mission of encouraging and empowering people with intellectual disabilities.  What a great way to help a great cause.  When you mix barbecue events with organizations that help people, you can’t help but win.

Here are some photos that were sent in of the event.
