Hey guys,

Unfortunately due to the limited amount of teams and the weather for this upcoming Cookoff, we have decided to either cancel for now or reschedule for a different date. There is some talk between us Be Our Guest girlies of moving it to a different establishment that we feel would benefit the teams and vendors better. We apologize for the inconvenience and will let you know asap when and where we will be hosting the event. We love and appreciate you guys so much!

Best Regards,

Mandi and Kristi
