HURON — While the many events at Wheel Jam are taking place, smoke of a more palatable nature will be rolling on the southwest corner of the S.D. State Fairgrounds this weekend.
It’s the 11th annual Original S.D. BBQ Championships, where teams from all over will compete for the $2,500 top prize, an invitation to this year’s American Royal competition in Kansas City and bragging rights for a year.
Combined with the BBQ Championships is a Chili Challenge and the Backyard BBQ competition, both of which are still open for competitors to register.
The weekend’s food fest kicks off Friday with the F.A.T. Friday Chili Challenge. Entry fee is $20 and is open to anyone. Chili must be cooked at the contest and the People’s Choice public tasting is set for 5:30 to 7 p.m. Friday evening. For those wishing to cast a ballot, $5 will get you all the chili you can eat and a vote for your favorite.
There are two divisions - Group and Individual and cash prizes for first, second and third will be awarded in both divisions, in both the People’s Choice and Judged chili.
