Saturday June 4th, 2011 (rain or shine) is the date of the 7th Annual Holy Smokes BBQ Contest and Parish Dinner. We are planning on a great afternoon of Family, Friendship, Blues music & BBQ.
We are expecting anywhere from 30 to 40 competing Teams, and from 300 to 500 friends & family on Saturday afternoon!!! What a great Day for all the friends & families at Cure’of Ars! This year’s contest will include 5 meat categories; everyone’s favorite ribs, pork (butt or tenderloin), sausage & brisket. Teams will prepare their entries to be judged, while the Holy Smokes pitmasters cook the meat to be served at the parish dinner. There is also the Blue Ribbon Bake-Off with multiple categories of pastries and desserts being judged and served as desert for the BBQ dinner.
The weekend kicks off with Team Setup on Friday night – most teams have a party Friday night entertaining family, friends and parishioners. Saturday they get down do business cooking for the competition. There will be live music Friday evening.
We are encouraging a family atmosphere during the day Saturday and an adult atmosphere Saturday evening. Between noon and 2:00 o’clock we will have a free hot dog hour for all the kids and contestants. This has been a great hit along with the Leawood Fire Truck. There will be live music Saturday evening.
The cafeteria doors for our Parish guests will open at 5:30pm Saturday evening. At approximately 7:00pm, we will announce the contest results in the cafeteria and hand out trophies.
