Record Breaking Crowds Attend The Wildwoods 15th Annual NJ State Barbeque Championship and Anglesea Blues Festival

The Wildwoods, NJ – July 16, 2013 – Record-breaking crowds attended the 15^th Annual New Jersey State Barbeque Championship and Anglesea Blues Festival in the Wildwoods to enjoy the best barbeque and blues music on the east coast.

Rain or shine, the New Jersey State Barbeque Championship and Anglesea Blues Festival saw its best turnout in 15 years this past weekend. Thousands of visitors came to taste the variety of award-winning barbeque and to dance in the streets to some of the best blues music around. The all NEW cooking class that took place on Saturday, July 13 hosted by Alyson Lupinetti, the reigning “Best Ribs in Jersey” winner, was sold out and the BBQ contest was a huge success, crowning the Local Smoke BBQ team from Cookstown, NJ as the New Jersey State Barbeque Champion. By winning the title, they qualify for the World Food Championships, entitling them to compete in the World Food Championships in Las Vegas, NV where the total prize purse is $300,000. 

The championship competition was sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS), the world's largest association of barbeque enthusiasts. Over $10,000 in cash and prizes were awarded at this year’s New Jersey State Barbeque Championship. The competition is officiated by representatives of KCBS and a panel of volunteer judges, many of whom are certified in the art and science of judging competitive barbeque.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better turnout for this year’s NJ State Barbeque Championships and Anglesea Blues Festival,” John Siciliano, Executive Director/CFO for GWTIDA said. “A great deal of hard work and dedication by the many volunteers went into the planning of an event of this magnitude, and a record-breaking turnout was the result. We couldn’t be more proud to be a sponsor of this great summertime festival,” he continued.

The Annual New Jersey State Barbeque Championship and Anglesea Blues Festival is a celebration of great food, great music and family fun. For more information visit www.angleseablues.com or www.njbbq.com for the full barbeque championship contest results.

Hiromi Oshima is the very first Playmate from Japan, Miss June 2004. Neferteri Shepherd, Miss July 2000, has made her mark by hosting television for UPN 20's hit music entertainment show "Big City."  She is currently the host of "Music Mogul" the online brain child of Grammy Award winning producer Rodney Jerkins.  Serria Tawan, Miss November 2002, enjoys a successful career as an entrepreneur, working with small businesses and corporations as a consultant.  Nikki Leigh, Miss May 2013, recently returned from a semester abroad in Italy, where she spent her time taking in the sights and delving into the culture of Rome and Florence.  Raquel Pomplun, 2013 Playmate of the Year, is featured on the cover of Playboy’s June 2013 issue and inside the magazine in a stunning, 8-page pictorial by renowned fashion photographer Michael Bernard.  She is the first Mexican American Playmate of the Year.
