The wild game cook-off judging will begin at 5 pm. Visitors who have purchased tickets will be able to go into the cook-off area at all times and sample the dishes the teams will be preparing.
“We will have a barbecue meal that begins at 6 p.m., and Steve Chapman, our feature speaker, will begin his worship program at 7 p.m.,” Long added. “We will give away all the major prizes, like a rod-and-reel combination and guided fishing trips, at the end of his presentation.”
