When does the competition bbq season end ?

For some hearty soles in Minnesota and Kansas it never does.

The Second Annual Fire on Ice competition will be held Feb 29th in Ilse
Minnesota on Mille Lacs Lake.

The Kansas Winter Que will be held Feb 15th in Great Bend Kansas.

There's even a rumor of a winter competition being held somewhere in New
England.

And of course our friends in Florida and California have competitions
all year long.
