We have a small chicken bbq outfit in the Updtate NY area and my son (age 16) and daughter (age 13) want to put on a “BBQ for the troops” event in NY next summer. It is looking like it will be more like a 3 or 4 dates tour and cover Albany, Watertown, NY, parts of New England and/or further south. It is getting some very positive momentum, but I know we have a lot of work to do. Just wanted to see if you could help offer some guidance or advice for this mission. we ae set-up to do up to 1000 meals at a time.

I'm doing a story on the McKinley Springs Winery barbecue cookoff on June 9. It's to raise funds for your barbecue meals for the troops. I have a couple of questions on your BBQ for the Troops, one of them is how can people donate? Can you send me your email address or phone number?

I manage a Bakers Ribs and am wondering how to get involved . I am a disabled vet and would love to help my brothers .

Just read about your BBQ for Our Troops that you are providing in Norfolk, Va. Tell me more how I can help. I own Whiskey Hill BBQ and co-own a GM dealership in Williamsburg, Virginia. Whiskey Hill BBQ is a special event company that can handle up to 300 - 400 people. Our dealership, Patriot Buick GMC, is a GM franchise located in Williamsburg. Both companies, are sponsors of the "Memorial Day Challenge" for Ride 2 Recovery for our wounded veterans. Our websites are: www.whbbq.com www.patriotautos.com www.ride2recovery.com If we can get on a schedule next year at Ft Eustis or Langley AFB let me know. Many thanks, Rick Hines

Do you ever have any in Florida? If not how do you go about setting one up?
