A very big and sincere thank you goes out to everyone who participated, attended, volunteered, and judged this year’s Smoke in the Mountains BBQ and Ribeye Shootout. The Smoke in the Mountains board can’t begin to express our appreciation to everyone that has supported us throughout the year as well as the event itself. Between the attendance of the teams and locals alike, we are just blown away. The event was better than we expected, and this year’s success left us flying high and excited about plans for next year’s Smoke in the Mountains 2024. While a final tally of the donation money is not available at this time, we will have it available to present the donation at the July 11 Jeff Davis County commissioner’s court. The donation money will go towards the first responders in Jeff Davis County including the Fort Davis Volunteer Fire Dept. and EMS, the Valentine Volunteer Fire Department, Davis Mountains Resort Volunteer Fire Department, and the Cherry Creek Volunteer Fire Department. The success of this event allowed us to pay out $23, 175 in prize money which was all entry fees and add on money donations from individuals and companies like Henley Buildings of Midland and Big Bend Title of Fort Davis and Alpine. Once again, thank you so much from the bottoms of our hearts for all your support. Jennifer Webster President-Smoke in the Mountains
