Lake Placid, NY, home of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympic Games is hosting a national level barbecue and grilling competition for the fourth time to benefit the Shipman Youth Center of Lake Placid (SYC).

Over the two and half days, of July 4th and July 6th 2008 more then 9,000 people attended the third annual l ILBBQF event held on the Olympic speed skating oval.

Jacks Down Home BBQ team, PA won the title and earned a spot to compete at the American Royal and Kansas City Barbecue Society national championship, held every year in Kansas City, MO.
