Best Contest in OK

How about Ponca City, home of Cookshack.

Since Carol and I were the Reps at all but one Oklahoma contest, and in great fear of making contest mad, here are some coments.
For Money: Bricktown and Claremore
For treating the cooks great: Bixby
For level of Competition: Ponca, Bixby, Bricktown, Enid, Tulsa, Stillwater
If you want an early comp, I would go to Bixby, if you want a late comp, I would go to Bricktown, and if you want one in the middle, I would go to Ponca, Enid or Tulsa.

Thanks Merl,
Icouldn't find Bricktown n the webb schedule. when is it held?

I heard Ponca is trying to boost the purse a bunch,probably with help of some of the local manufacturers?

Bricktown is in OKC in September (don't have the dates in front of me).

I like Merl's list, except I'd leave off Enid (only it's 2nd year) and Tulsa (they charge too much, don't pay much and don't take care of the cook AND it's always hot)

Only one, it would be either Bixby (great setting) or Bricktown

Thanks everyone,
If Brcktown doesn't conflct with Pine Bluff, it goes on the list.

It doesn't conflict with Pine Bluff. Its schedualled for the sept. 7 and 8th.
They have already sent me a flyer and other info on thecooking sites.

Thanks David.
