HOT NEWS!!!

The Cook-off is off to a fast start this year. It is mid-June and we already have almost 50 confirmed cooking teams. This year we have teams coming from as far away as Bartlett, Tennessee. If you want to cook, get your entry forms in now! They are available at http://www.laverniabbq.com/entryforms.htm. You can also view the pictures of last year’s winners there. This year we are adding a Sweet Treats Cook-off on Friday Night. And as always we need judges for Friday night and Saturday.

The fun begins Friday at 3 pm when we open the gates with the carnival and later Travis Schultz and the Rutmakers will perform. Since it was such a hit last year, we will once again have karaoke after the Travis Schultz performs. Come on out and show us what American Idol is missing!

Saturday begins when the gates open at 10 am. The carnival, vendors and food booths will open and the fun will start. Don't forget the auction Saturday afternoon. We always have some great items and this year shouldn't be any different! The excitement continues into the evening with The Clay Wilson Band opening for KYLE PARK!!!! That's something you don't want to miss!

Tell everyone and bring your friends out "To the Hottest Time in Town".

General Event Information

The highlight of the annual BBQ Cookoff is the IBCA-sanctioned BBQ cooking competition, where teams compete for the best BBQ chicken, beef, and ribs. Cooking teams come from across the state and are very competitive about their cooking techniques and recipes.

But there is more to this event than just BBQ: this is a 2-day family event with something for everyone. All proceeds from this event go towards helping the La Vernia Park Foundation meet it's main goal and objective : Making park improvements!
