To the Editor:

Please do not cancel your KCBS sanctioned BBQ Competition. &bsp;

After 16 years, it has become one of the most respected competitions in the country. Even those of us that have never attended, for one reason or another, are always anxious to find out who won. I just retired from the fire department here in Denver after 30 years and 30 days service. &bsp;

With my free time now I was planning on doing an east coast tour this summer. I was going to enter your event. I have been competing since 2002.
