Taking place on the 5th and 6th of March is the Smokin’ in the Square BBQ Cookoff which is sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) and is designated as a State Championship. Smokin' in the Square will be the venue where many local barbeque cooks will have the opportunity to compete for $9500 in prize money as well as bragging rights in the popular "Backyard" competition.
Professional and Backyard Cook Teams will begin checking in to the contest in Seville Square on Friday 5th at 7:00am.
The public is invited to share in the fun and to visit with the cook teams to check out the variety of techniques and equipment that are being used in the competition, while families will be able to enjoy the entertainment provided (see schedule below) by a variety of local talent.
In addition to the barbeque competition and the music, there will also be plenty of entertainment for the kids too. Smokin' in the Square will have vendors on site to satisfy your appetite for BBQ, as well as arts and crafts being available over the two day event.
The contest's proceeds will be donated to local charities.
