4 | May 16, 2019 | the new lenox patriot news newlenoxpatriot.com Rib cook-off to raise money for veterans home Sean Hastings, Editor The New Lenox Sons of the American Legion’s rib cook-off raised $2,473.68 for the Manteno Veterans home last year and they are back at it again this year looking to raise even more money. Saturday, July 13 at the Tom E. Hartung post 1977, 14414 Ford Drive, New Lenox is hosting its second annual rib cook-off. With the money that was raised last year through donations, rib contest entry fees, raffles and more helped the Sons buy two freezers for the home, which they desperately needed as the old ones were no longer operable. After the purchase of the two freezers, there was $400 left over and with it they hosted a bingo night for the veterans at the home. It included pizzas, sodas and cash prizes. Event coordinator Nick McGuire saw everything first hand and was grateful to have been able to help out. “The pure joy they had doing it encouraged us to double down and work harder this year at raising funds for the home that they otherwise would not get,” McGuire said. Nick’s father, Rich is also a coordinator for the event. The July 13 event will feature the rib contest where teams cook up their style of ribs to be judged by three-to-six judges for a chance at first, second or third place. In each team’s $75 entry fee includes three slabs of pork babyback ribs. Each team is allowed to season, sauce, grill or smoke, their ribs and is in charge of their Some of the rib cooking teams at last year’s event. Teams are encouraged to bring tents rain or shine.

Teams can use any type of garnish they wish, but must bring that on their own. They are allowed to use romaine/iceberg lettuce, cilantro or flat leaf/ Italian parsley. The judges grade on appearance, taste, tenderness, moisture and overall impression. All the ribs are distributed at 8 a.m. with cooking starting at 8:30 a.m. and the judging starts at 3 p.m. where everything must be turned in. Eight teams participated in last year’s inaugural cook-off and just a half point separated second and third place and one point separated the fourth place team from the third place team. And even if one is not participating in the cookoff, they are more than welcome to come eat smoked pulled pork sandwiches for $5. They will be sold from 11:30 a.m. until they are sold out of all 80 lbs. of pork shoulder. Admissions is free. And for those 21 and older, there is a cash bar available all day, and all of those proceeds go toward the Manteno Veterans Home. A craft table for children by Tea Time Socials will go from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. The bar is outdoors and there will also be bags and horseshoes for people to play. The event will go on rain or shine, but tents are recommended for teams to bring. This year’s big giveaway in the raffle prizes is a Traeger Pro Series 34-pellet smoker, which is valued at $1,150. Tickets are $5 or five for $20. The winner of the smoker will also receive a fold out table, smoker cover and two bags of pellets. The Sons of the American Legion are also selling sponsorships for $100 which would be recognized during the cook-off. The sponsors will have a 3’x3’ banner hung behind the judges table.
