SunTrust Bank & Kiwanis Clubs Present the
Triple Crown Contest

The Kiwanis Clubs in Winchester, Lawrenceburg and Pulaski along with SunTrust Bank will be awarding the Triple Crown winner a cash prize of $3,000.00 and a trophy at High on the Hog Festival in Winchester TN this year.  Four years ago, these clubs banded together along with SunTrust Bank to have an additional contest for teams that competed in all of these Kiwanis Club’s KCBS contests.  The team that competes in all three cities and has the best cumulative point average in the four KCBS meat categories will win.

The Triple Crown and Team awards will be presented Saturday, April, 19 at 4 PM on the pavilion stage in the Winchester City Park and everyone is invited to attend.

Pulaski’s contest is known as the Sundrop Country “State Championship” BBQ Cook-Off.  This will be their fourth year for this event.  The contest will be held the second weekend of May at the Giles County Agri Park.  Along with the professional KCBS Contest they will also have an amateur BBQ contest where cooks can try their skills with chicken and pork ribs.

Several other events are scheduled in addition to the BBQ contest at the Agri Park. The Goodchild Band will be on stage Friday night.  Treasurer hunters will be excited to find all kinds of goodies at the Barbeque Bazaar and Artisans Festival that will feature real artisans from the hills and hollows.  World class BBQ will be sold on Friday night and Saturday to satisfy the biggest of appetites.  Youngsters can take their turn cooking in the Kid’s Q event or just have fun in the kids’ activity area.  Proceeds will go to the Giles County Development Center EI Services that help children from infancy to three years with learning disabilities.  So drive on over and spend a day or two in Pulaski.

Lawrenceburg’s A T & T Tennessee State Championship BBQ contest has been going on for seventeen years.  The first ten years the contest was held on the town square then was moved to Rotary Park for the last seven years when they joined the Kansas City Barbeque Society.  Along with the professional KCBS team cook-off, there will be a back yard contest on the weekend of June 27 & 28.  Proceeds from this event are to benefit The Child Advocacy Center - a facility to help children that are victims of crimes, to get treatment and assistance with the court process.

Other groups helped by the Kiwanis Club include Ingram Sowell School, Lawrenceburg Babe Ruth and youth football to name a few.
