Holy Smoke #10
Saturday April 6, 2013 marked the day for the TENTH
annual Holy Smoke Christian Grilling Competition sponsored by Macedonia
Baptist Church (Centerpoint community). It was a great day for the competition, the fellowship, and for the
entertainment. Gospel singing began at 11 a.m. and lasted until 5 p.m.
There were 20 teams to register and pay entry fees
this year, but once again we wound up with 18 teams competing because of
sicknesses in two of the teams.
Bar-b-que plates were sold for the noon and evening
meal with all proceeds going to the Ga. Baptist Children’s home in
Meansville Ga. and the Methodist Children’s home in Americus. Once again
the amount increased and finally topped the $6,000. mark. The total
combined gift to the Children's Homes this year was
$6285.60.
After the evening meal the judging totals were
announced and the results are listed below
The Grand Champion of the 2013 BBQ competition
(that included all entries except cakes) was Macedonia Baptist Church
with runner up being Pleasant Hill Baptist and second
runner up, DeSoto Baptist Church.
The evening ended with local auctioneer, Billy
Black, auctioning off the cake entries. This part of the event itself
raised over $2000.00 toward the total for the day.
Thank you to each of the cooking teams, singers,
workers and supporters that made this year’s Holy Smoke another huge
success.
