Memphis in May festival and BBQ cook off.

The river has receded and TS is in the process of cleaning up. WE were there Sunday afternoon and they were hoping to have space available this past Monday. Call before you go. The river made a mess down there.

We visited TO Fuller S.P. and I would stay there in a heartbeat. They have a golf course and a Indian museum that you can visit while there.

I am hearing a lot of votes for Tom Sawyer and have heard from friends that I would probably like TO Fuller also. I thank you all for your input. I will not be dragging a toad.

We stayed at Tom Sawyer over the summer and it was great. Easy access across the river to Memphis.

OP - do you have a toad? Parking for a "C" could easily be a nightmare in downtown, toad not so much, but be prepared for an extended walk. Also, acquiring judging credentials should be done several months in advance, it is not offered at the "big" contest in May, however, very, very good BBQ is offered for sale by vendors at the contest. If you know a team that is participating, it's a much different story.

We went to the Memphis In May venue several years ago, unless they have changed the venue all of the competitors are not open to the public. You will have to go back into "town" and eat good BBQ at a sit down restaurant. Have fune.

We live in West Memphis and Tom Sawyer is a hidden jewel. The one road into the park is ok. I wont' say great but its easily traveled in your mh. The cg is isolated from town and the owners are great and we feel completely safe there. The BBQ fest is downtown on the river so the drive over is a snap. Get on I-40 and take the Riverside exit and you are there. Parking is another story!!! Enjoy Memphis.

Just some information about the cook off. If you go on Thursday when it opens between 11:00am and 1:00pm they will let you in free. Do not expect to sample the BBQ unless you sign up to be a judge and pay a fee to go thru their judging school where you will be trained and certified. DW and I spent an enjoyable time at the cool off a couple of years back and what I saw on tv and what one could bring in is totally different. No coolers, no sampling BBQ unless you go to judge school and then you only get to judge 3 samples.
