All Fired Up & Kicking Ash BBQ Competition

All Fired Up & Kicking Ash BBQ Competition

Cameron County Chamber of Commerce will host the first ever barbecue competition in the county.  The event is set for Saturday September 27 and open to teams or individuals.  That is a jam packed weekend for Cameron County and the chamber is hoping it will provide another activity for visitors.   “The event coincides with Cameron County Homecoming, and the District 4 Trapping Convention,” said executive director Tina Johns Solak. 

Individuals or teams are invited to enter.  The price is $50.00.  Teams will set up in the vacant lot in downtown Emporium and offer their wings, pork, ribs, turkey or brisket for sale.  A team of 6 judges will decide the winners in each category.  Visitors will then select a People’s Choice winner. 

The competition is open to restaurants, non-profits who would like to put together a team, or individuals.  “It is for bragging rights of the county!” Johns Solak explained.  Groups that may not want to enter the competition are encouraged to sell beverages, and side dishes like baked beans and coleslaw.  Currently the chamber is working with the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board to obtain an event permit and feature adult beverages. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Guy and Mary Felt Auxiliary.


Entry forms and rules can be found at www.cameroncountychamber.org or by calling the chamber office at 814-486-4314.  The deadline to apply is September 18.
