Big T Memorial’s Cook-Off has had another delicious, and more importantly, successful weekend this past weekend, September 13th and 14th, 2019.
The 2019 Cook’s Choice Winner was Buster’s BBQ.
The Children’s Cook-Off was boneless pork chops, and rumor has it that there was not a single bad one among the bunch. The children were also able to take home their very own grills.
The First place winner of the Children’s Cook-Off 6 to 12 year old was Harper Brackens (at top).
The Second place winner of the Children’s Cook-Off 6 to 12 year old was Kole brackens and Blayke Brackens.
The First place winner of the Children’s Cook-Off 13-18 year old was Jenna Haden.
The Second place winner of the Children’s Cook-Off 13-18 year old was Kate Silar.
The 2019 Grand Champion is Toni Olenick.
The 2019 Reserve Grand Champion is Kirk Filipp.
This year also had some extra fun from the auctioning off of a commemorative cornhole set, complete with a score tower and eight bean bags. Kurt and Kayla Lupo had the winning bid of $1300.
Big T Memorial Cook-Off is a fundraising event started in 2010 along with Big T Buddies Autism Support Network.
After a few years of host changes with the Cook-Off it settled comfortably with Golden Circle Special Needs Association.
Big T Buddies and Golden Circle Special Needs Association in conjunction with the Big T Memorial Cook-Off help bring much needed funding to special needs children in the five county region surrounding the area.
Congratulations to all the winners, and way to go to all the people putting in their time and effort to help bring money in for this cause.
