11th Annual 2019 BBQ Cook Off

From 11th Annual 2019 BBQ Cook Off Website:

Desoto Shrine Club is a group of Shriners based in Desoto County Ms. We are located at 2888 Gwynn Rd, Hernando, Mississippi.

The Desoto Shrine Club 11th Annual 2019 BBQ Cook Off is scheduled for June 14 & 15, 2019. It has been proclaimed by the governor of Mississippi, as a State Championship and sanctioned by KCBS. We will offer large 30x30 cooking spaces which includes basic electricity (20 AMP) and water. We have limited 30 AMP & 50 AMP spaces on a first come first serve basis for an additional fee. We also have a dumping station on grounds. We can accommodate about any setup since we have 53 acres to spread out. We had 41 teams last year and our CBJ percentage was 100%. We plan to put on a quality contest again this year in one of the most pristine environments of any BBQ Cook Off in the country. Come on, sign up, cook, have fun, and take a chance at your share of the $8,000 prize purse and trophies.

This will be our major fundraiser. Since most of our funds go to support 22 hospitals, we will use the proceeds from this event to help maintain our 53 acre complex. We have several buildings and many pieces of equipment to keep up.
