The judges assessed the ribs on their taste, texture and appearance and presentation, said MacLeod, then the individual results were tallied to pick the winner. "The difference between our first and the second-place entry was one point," said MacLeod. "But we'll take it. It was pretty good, since it was our first time out." MacLeod has been seriously barbecuing meats of all sorts for more than four years, and was originally inspired by the TLC show BBQ Pitmasters. He decided this was the year to `get his feet wet'. Since winning the Beaches competition, MacLeod says they hope to enter four Ontario competitions, which are held at various locations across the province over the summer. "It's a lot of fun," says Angie, "We have something we enjoy doing together, we see lots of other people who are interested in the same thing, and we get to experience some great food-- every rib HOLIDAY CLOSURE AUGUST 2, 2010 CIVIC HOLIDAY CIVIC CENTRE - 905-873-2600 The Civic Centre will be closed on August 2, 2010 TAKE NOTICE that the Council for the Corporation of the Town of Halton Hills passed By-law No. 2010-0050, being the Town of Halton Hills Zoning By-law on the 19th day of July, 2010 under Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter P.13, as amended.
