Wren Rib Cook-Off coming in late August

WREN — It’s getting to be Rib Cook-off time again in Wren. The eighth annual Wren Rib Roast Cook-off will be held on Saturday, August 20, during Wren Homecoming festivities.

Contestants will need to provide any equipment necessary. All types of spices, marinades, and “secret recipes” are encouraged.  All types of cookers and any fuel sources will be accepted.

Cooking will take place around the Wrenway Wiffleball Park, with judging at 11:30 am.  Ribs will be judged on taste and tenderness.  A separate prize will be given for presentation, sauce and best side dish.

To sign up, call Karen O’Hagan at 419.495.2623.  Only the first 15 amateur cooks who call will be permitted to participate.

Deadline to enter is this Friday, August 5.
