WREN — It\u2019s Rib Cook-off time again in Wren. The 13th annual Wren Rib Roast Cook-off will be held Saturday, August 20, during Wren Homecoming festivities.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s theme will be \u201cSouthern Family BBQ\u201d. Cooks are asked to consider a regional flare from their favorite Southern city or state for the contest.<\/p>\n

deadlContestants need to provide any equipment necessary, while Western-style pork ribs will be provided to each contestant on the Thursday before the contest. All types of spices, marinades, and \u201csecret recipes\u201d are encouraged, while all types of cookers and any fuel sources will be accepted.<\/p>\n

Cooking will take place outside the Wrenway Wiffleball Park, with judging starting at 11:30 a.m. that day. Ribs will be judged on taste and tenderness, while a separate prize will be given for presentation, sauce, and best side dish. For the second year, a \u201cPeople\u2019s Choice\u201d award will once again be presented.<\/p>\n

Visiting rib enthusiasts can enter a drawing to be one of two \u201ccelebrity judges\u201d. All ribs must be prepared on-site the day of the contest.<\/p>\n
