There will be an award for the Most Creative Tent. The People’s Choice award will be given to the team with the most votes from the public.
Parking is limited behind the Inn and much of the lot will be reserved for Inn guests. If there are no parking spots available, it is acceptable to use the lot for unloading purposes. There should be plenty of parking available at the First Baptist Church lot across from the Post Office. Main Street will be blocked to traffic, but can be used for temporary unloading at the start of the cook off, but will not be accessible after the cook off has started. Please be courteous, do not block access for others and move quickly from unloading areas.
We hope to see you there!
