BBQ friends and family, I apologize for our lack of posts over the last 2 months. Our team has had a rough start to 2026. From losing a family friend suddenly and unexpectedly, to illnesses among our team and family, one of which was very serious, to losing a family member. We are back and will be posting our first teams who have registered in the next few days. We are looking forward to our 5th ShenDig and are actively preparing an amazing event for our community and competitors! We have used feedback from teams and the community to change a few things, just as we do every year. Our commitment to hosting this event for our community and teams is unwavering. We look forward to seeing everyone in July!
