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.
