Thomas Laird Quotations

We're going to get it set up for next year so we not only have blues, but we also have a barbecue competition. All in all, for a first-time event, it was a success.

Nobody is going to go hungry if they want barbecue, though. We've lined up a good group of vendors who'll have plenty of barbecue for sale.

Once the meat is through inspection, they can start cooking, and I suspect some of them will be cooking all night.

It's been a great event for this community.

The guy who won the Pearl Drums drum-off was a 15-year-old kid from right here in this neighborhood. And that was some serious competition, too.
