Rack up some fun

Sponsored by local beef producers, the cook-off is for amateurs and will be limited to 24 entries for the Aug. 14 event.

Entry deadline is July 25. Cooking time begins at 8 a.m., with judging scheduled for 4 p.m.

Cash prizes will be presented to the top three places in two divisions: judge's choice winner and people's choice winner.

An entry fee of $100 is set for each team of up to three members.

Admission to sample the all-you-can-eat barbecue is $15.
