2024 BEST COUNTRY COOKOUT NATIONWIDE /SMOKING MAGIC

[@Datz-Donna]

Update: I should've checked Art's titles before I posted this video. I apologize if I misled anyone to think that Art was involved in production of this video. I stated in the description that I'm not affiliated with Art Fennell Country Style or any of the crew. I thought I was speaking English.😂 Please accept my heartfelt apology. Thank you again for your support.❤😊 Oh, the rest of my footage will come AFTER Art's video is posted on his channel. No part 2, that's dead.

@Datz-Donna keep doing you!!!!nothing wrong with what you did….. every year people go and they post their videos of the cook off weeks before art does so just keep doing You because people always try to make everything a big deal …… and it’s not that serious!!!

Keep recording! It will get better. I saw several videos posted prior to Art’s release today and it’s normal. I saw videos last year that were posted prior to Art. Keep pushing! 👍🏽💐

[@kathyrene9887]

You have nothing to apologize about. I’m sure his video is not the same as yours. This didn’t spoil Art’s video. Do your thing. And thank you for posting this video I enjoyed it. 😊👍Will watch yours and Art’s videos.

So good to see Den Fenn. I've been praying for him. He looks good.

I must say Datz Donna, you give a different perspective of the Country Style 2024 Cookoff. I did know how large / massive the grounds are that held this wonderful event. The traffic, the people attending, the tent ⛺️ city, various vendors, EMS crew, and the County Style Family ! Thanks 🙏🏾- Great 👍🏽 Job !!

[@Datz-Donna]

You're very welcome! That's exactly what I felt I needed to do. Whenever I found previous years videos from spectators, the videos were short and extremely personal to them. I wanted to show more of the scenery. Thanks for watching.😊❤

[@oneshot7113]

What a wonderful event! The food was absolutely amazing, and the people were truly outstanding. Art, I want to express my deep appreciation to you. I traveled all the way from California and will definitely try to attend the next one. As a community, we really need to come together to better support this event. It was disheartening to see so many people without wristbands. Do you remember the lady who spoke about the scholarship? She managed to raise nearly $1000, which is far from enough for our children's education, especially with 8 to 10,000 attendees present. Just imagine if everyone contributed just $1.00 - we could have raised between $8000 to $10,000 for our educational scholarship program. Let's reflect on this and consider how we can all pitch in to make a bigger impact next time.

[@Datz-Donna]

Thanks for this beautiful sentiment. Watch for Art's video and repeat it there. I agree with you. I made a donation online when I purchased two tickets on Eventbrite. As savvy as I am, I had challenges trying to do that. It's a grand idea for everyone to give $1 at check-in.

[@anthonybrooks1559]

$1000 per graduate, but yes, more money would be better.

Me and some of my vegan brothers were going to bbq some vegan food because when we entered the draw to compete we were meat eaters then we switched to vegan over a month ago we wanted to show case a different style that still could compete in each section of the grill off and art and his “minions” came and kicked us out never refunded us or anything.

Out of respect for Art and the Country Style Family I am not going to watch this video - it just doesn't feel right (morally) watching this before Art post his video 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@kayrobbie5840]

I agree. It's like she's trying hone in on Country Style videos. She does not have Art's finesse. She should seriously try to find her own nitch. And what was also annoying is that she kept mispronouncing Blenheim SC. It was quite annoying.

[@christopherbrock8913]

@@kayrobbie5840 lol - all I saw was Cookoff 2024 and press play without reading who channel I was on 🤣 after about 20 seconds I finally looked down and saw it was not Art's channel and I watched about 2 more minutes and press pause and started making comments - she was actually trying to jump out ahead of Art and run up some views - well she actually did, because she got us to press play even if we didn't finish watching 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@Datz-Donna]

Nobody respects Art more than I do. I was just excited to be there for the first time. I respect your decision.😊 It's not every day something that big happens near me. If you haven't noticed, there are other videos posted that are gaining thousands of views. It was a public event. I watched two of them today and they have much larger channels than I do and more views. I'm ok with that too.😊

[@Datz-Donna]

​​@@kayrobbie5840I agree with you. I'm not a professional Journalist, I'm a retired over the road truck driver, 28 years. I'm just doing what makes me happy now since I'm a single empty nester with too much time on my hands.😂 Art on the other hand is one of a kind. I wouldn't think of competing with him. None of my footage contains coverage of the grill master competition. I wouldn't touch that. That's Art's baby.😊 However you pronounce Bleinham, I'll be back next year God willing and get it right.😂
