One week to the 4th annual RRV Eggfest brought to you by Jim Prescott BBQ Shop (6-17-17). Folks in and around Northern Illinois stop on by. It's 45 min from quad cities and an hour from the Wisconsin state line area. Short drive from the Western Suburbs. Not a big fest, but plenty of good food and company. Love to see you there.

Too bad it's such a haul and I am other-wise wimping out. Didn't you work in some good will and advertising with a local radio host for this last year or am I just lost and confused? Regardless, the pics from this deal would be enough enticement for anyone within a reasonable distance.
Above all, have fun as I'm sure you will.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -

Thank you you for the well wishes sir. -
Sent your link for this EggFest to my friend who just got back from Pekin, IL where he was trying to convince several of his northern cousins to get BGE's. They were cooking on a gasser with AL foil on the grate. Thinks they might be close after he educated them a bit. Hoping they go and this pushes them to purchase.
A small fest with a knowledgeable egger should be just right. Friend says next year he and family plan to go back to Pekin and make sure they all go to the 5th annual Rock River Valley Eggfest!! Hope this years addition gets more attention for you. Always enjoy talking to cooks and tasters at these affairs.Ubi panis, ibi patria.

Looking forward to it Pete.
Not really sure what I'm gonna cook?
Leaning towards some pan pizzas, rotating a couple of 12" skillets? Maybe some wangs?

Wish I could have been there, but I'm still slurping liquid soup 3 days later - plus with my swollen jaw I'd probably trip somebody and you'd get sued for having me around, Pete!

Pete, I enjoyed your Eggfest. Lots of good food being offered, plank salmon, various sausages, pizza, burgers, pears and I think smoked egg plant to name a few.
Thanks Focker for the info on your pizza making and gloves.
Hope the the rain held off. I picked up a couple rubs. One old stand by and one new to try. -
@pgprescott - Survived?? Based on the above, another great event into the history books. More to follow I'm sure.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Holy cow! It was a great madhouse! More later. Now we drink!

Phew, loaded the last egg a half hour ago. A couple Woodfords with @Focker and it's a wrap. Huge thanks to all the cooks and all the attendees. This was a huge success for our small town egg community. Much appreciated folks.

Looks like a great time! Wish there was an eggfest around here.

Looks like a "fun time was had by all !!!" Personally I think the small personal eggfests ROCK compared to those big ones with hundreds cooking and the public feeding at the troff! Now that the Peoria Eggfest bit the dust after 14 years then yours, Pete, will be my go to destination. Being able to say howdy to you, @Fayborg and @Focker would have been cool - penciled in for next year!
