The grills are warming up for the Sixteenth Annual Cape BBQ Fest,
August 22 & 23, 2008, at Arena Park in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
This is our fourth year to be a sanctioned Kansas City Barbeque Society event!
This means bigger cash prizes for all winners. First place teams in each
category will receive $300; second place $150; third place $100; fourth place
$75; and fifth place $62.50. Places 6-10 will receive $25. The Grand Champion
of the Cape BBQ Fest will receive a trophy PLUS $1,000. The Reserve Grand
Champion will receive $750. Teams must barbecue in ALL FOUR (4) categories to
be eligible for this award. The "SHOWMANSHIP" category will again be included
as part of Friday night's program. Showmanship is awarded to the team inviting
the most notice or attention by presenting or displaying entertainment to
amuse other teams and the public through song, skits, activities, decorations,
costumes, enthusiasm and crowd participation. Judging for the showmanship
category will be held from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. on Friday evening with the
winners announced at 9:30 p.m. PLEASE NOTE: Meat categories are
chicken, pork ribs (loin or spare), pork (shoulder/butt/picnic), and brisket
(beef).
This year's Cape BBQ Fest will be bigger and better than ever. On Friday
evening, barbecue sandwiches and soft drinks will be on sale to the public.
