   04/24/97  Senate Introduced, adopted, returned with concurrence SJ-13

DESIGNATING BUBBAFEST AND ITS BUBBA-Q COOKOFF CONTEST IN WOODRUFF IN SPARTANBURG COUNTY AS "THE KANSAS CITY BARBEQUE SOCIETY (KCBS) STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA CHAMPIONSHIP BARBEQUE" ANNUALLY.

Whereas, The Bubba-Q Cookoff Contest is given Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) sanctioning by the board of directors of the KCBS; this prestigious recognition elevates the Town of Woodruff's cooking event and BubbaFest into a select group of only fifty contests held throughout the United States; and

Whereas, each year cooking teams must earn points in order to compete at the American Royale World Championship held in Kansas City, Missouri, meaning that BubbaFest annually hosts a large number of teams from many other states and that Woodruff, in Spartanburg County, is the showcase for this event; and

Whereas, BubbaFest attracts thousands of people, has gained national and even international attention for years, and provides excellent publicity for Woodruff, Spartanburg County, and the Palmetto State; and

Whereas, in addition to the Bubba-Q Cookoff Contest, the family-oriented festival of BubbaFest in Woodruff offers the BubbaLympics team competition, BubbaBuddies, Bubba and Bubbette Contest, arts and crafts, a variety of music and entertainment, and great family fun for all ages; and

Whereas, designation as a State Championship event permits the grand champion of the Bubba-Q Cookoff Contest at BubbaFest to receive automatically an invitation to the American Royale World Championship at Kansas City and to the Jack Daniels National Invitational Barbeque Competition at Lynchburg, Tennessee. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, designates BubbaFest and its Bubba-Q Cookoff Contest in Woodruff in Spartanburg County as "The Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) State of South Carolina Championship Barbeque" annually.
