Tyson Fresh Meats will be sponsoring the pork for the competition and proceeds from the event will benefit Support Siouxland Soldiers. Only 20 teams will be accepted. Deadline for team registration is September 1, 2019. Organized by The Marquee and Downtown Partners, the Up In Smoke event was created to give Sioux City meat smoking amateurs the opportunity to compete with pork ribs, pork loin and/or chicken hindquarters. Meat will be provided for the teams and the public is invited down to the Tyson Fresh Meats Smoker’s Pit to sample throughout the event. But once it’s gone, it’s gone! Judging will take place and cash prizes awarded. Kelly Quinn, local entrepreneur states, " If you are considered ‘that guy’ in the neighborhood who makes delicious smells come from your yard, then we want you down here! We designed this event for amateurs, but consider this the year where you get to test your skills before we up the game in 2020. We will have some local professionals going into this competition as well, so come compete against some of the best. We are looking forward to awesome food and live, local music all day long." Proceeds will benefit Support Siouxland Soldiers, a non-profit, volunteer organization that provides 20 annual support events, food assistance and care-packages for our Siouxland Veterans and Military families. The mission of Support Siouxland Soldiers is to connect Siouxland Veterans, Service Members and Military families with each other, the community and available resources to provide basic needs, prevent isolation and improve the well-being of all who served. In 2018 they provided over 3500 hot meals, distributed over 50,000 lbs. of groceries, hosted 20 support events, 5 resource fairs, and engaged over 750 volunteers to serve and support our Siouxland Veterans and Military families. With over 1,000 new deployments anticipated in 2019, they could certainly use our help. With a day full of meat smoking, live bands, kids activities, samples and awards, this is sure to be a hit for downtown Sioux City every year.Click here for details: https://www.facebook.com/events/2392561567682995/ See more details •
