Come join us for CASH PRIZES in each cooking category. Trophies, buckles, and some mighty strong braggin’ rights will be awarded too! (No cash prizes for Best Bloody Mary, Best Margarita, including Best Presentations, Best Pit or Best Theme BUT AWESOME TROPHIES will be awarded!).

The following competitions will be held:

* BEST BLOODY MARY * BEST BEANS * BEST POTATO SALAD

* BEST CHICKEN * BEST PORK RIBS * BEST BRISKET

* BEST MARGARITAS * BEST PIT * BEST THEME

Judging will follow all CTBA sanctioned rules (see Rules of Competition).

We ask the cook teams to donate for sale to the public:

• two racks of ribs – one for competition and one for sale
• one chicken for competition,
• their beans left after competition beans have been pulled, and
• their potato salad left after competition amount has been pulled

The Library will provide each team:

• Ample amount of wild hog meat to cook for sale (must be pre-registered by March 3rd)
• 10 lbs of Kiolabassa Sausage
• three whole chickens (in addition to the whole chicken provided by the team for competition)

to cook during the day to be sold by the plate for the benefit of the Library (meat for sale must be ready to serve by 12:00 noon or no later that 1:00 p.m.) . The Library will provide all plates, picnic paks, volunteers to serve food and collection of tickets from plate lunch buyers.
