Monster BBQ Pit Build Off Competition and Poker Run With Proceeds going to:
Relay for Life Of Knox county
Rain or Shine
|
 |
    |
Whether you alter the appearance of an ordinary grill or totally build a BBQ pit from scratch you’re welcome to compete here. Compete for over $4,000.00 in Prize Money in the 3rd annual BBQ rib cooking competition where all proceeds are donated to Hospice of Knox County.
The Monster BBQ Pit Build Off Competition was primarily created for two reasons. The first and foremost priority was to create an event in which the proceeds could be dispersed and donated to a charitable organization in Knox County. This year’s charity will be the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Knox County with focus on breast cancer awareness and education. For more information you can visit www.relayforlife.org/knoxco or www.cancer.org The second reason was to create an event in which local companies could positively interact with the community in an informal setting. We also wanted to set this event apart from other BBQ competitions. It was decided to have a two part competition where the contestants would be judged not only on the ribs but also on the actual design and construction of the BBQ Cooking device. To compete here, you must alter the appearance of an ordinary grill or totally build a BBQ pit from scratch.
The contestants are definitely not limited to corporate sponsorship. Many individuals love to BBQ. Don’t shy away because you don’t have corporate sponsorship, just put a team together and be creative. Forming teams within a company instills company pride as well as team spirit. Incorporating company logos in the building process creatively catches the public’s eye – a change from traditional advertising. These aspects really show through on your BBQ Cooker and give the community a creative flavor for your company and its employees.
This is a BBQ Cooking Competition as well as a BBQ cooker building competition. The first and second year we found it very difficult to offer the BBQ ribs for sale to the public through the contestants. Most contestants are not set up to offer food consistently throughout the day and handle money transactions. A new concept for 2010 is a "rib sales booth" for those contestants that don’t want to deal with cash sales but would still like to get their ribs to the public. The competition will set up a location with a food warming oven in order to keep competition ribs at holding temperature. We will be able to identify each competitor’s ribs separately. If anyone wants to purchase ribs from a certain contestant they will be able to do so until we sell out. The sales price will be uniform for all. The contestants will have to option of donating the ribs for the good of the charity or we will give sales money back less 25% for handling fees. Contestants will be issued only three racks for the competition but will be able to buy additional ribs at cost if we know in advance. Contestants will still have the opportunity to sell food at their station but it is at their discretion. Competition Ribs for Sale at the event: $5.00 for 2 Bones & $25.00 per rack This year we will also be doing other fun events for the public to participate in and help raise money. We have added: Tug of War Cornhole Tournament Silent Auction See Schedule for sign up times and for more information. The poker run and bike games are fun not only to participate in but also to watch. Kudos to all the bikers they are some of the nicest and most generous people out there, without a doubt. We also want to give a shout out to our friends at the 12th Annual Farmstead Poker Run August 21st, 2010. Dick and Evowne Dailey have done so much over the years for Knox County. The sale of alcohol will be confined to the beer garden (21 and over) which is outside the cooking event.
There will be eight judges. Four judges to judge the Ribs and Four to judge the BBQ Cookers. Pits and Cookers:
