Vending (Required!!!):

This charity event is the richest cooking competition in the Northwest! In return, our hosts ask us to feed their guests by selling BBQ samples all day Saturday!

Please make no mistake, Saturday ACTIVE vending IS a requirement from 10am until at least 4pm. A 60/40 split has been set and teams are asked to plan for approximately 700 visitors to the Camp SPECIFICALLY for the BBQ competition. The vending requirement is reasonable for the huge prize purse, FREE lodging and other generosity they are showing us. YOU determine what you cook and sell. YOU determine the size of servings, etc. YOU determine what the price will be.

All vending teams will have at least one member PRESENT with a current Washington State Food Worker Card and it must be posted in your site. To obtain your card, visit foodworkercard.wa.gov, take the on-line course, pay your $10, print out your card and BRING IT. (Pay particular attention to water temperatures and food holding temps!) The Health Department inspectors WILL visit your site Saturday and shut you down if it's in violation of requirements as instructed in your Food Worker Card on-line course. Our PNWBA Head Judges will also visit your sites throughout the day Saturday for their customary duties. They will complete those visits by 3pm. Keep those food supplies and wash water at the appropriate temps. (Is your fire extinguisher current?)

Additionally, each vending team must complete a Temporary Food Establishment Application.

Safety Requirements:

Current Covid safety protocols by the state, county and facility will be observed.

Team Requirements:

Please review the Team Rules Page, even if you are an experienced team. Each site will be inspected to meet these requirements. If you are a new to competition BBQ team or new to PNWBA competitions, we recommend visiting our New Team Info page.
