2024 Cooking for Kids
The 2024 Camp Korey BBQ Challenge at Camp Korey
NEAR CONWAY, WA
September 8, 2024
CALL FOR JUDGES, TABLE CAPTAINS AND VOLUNTEERS
Registration Deadline: September 3, 2024
This is a fully sanctioned traditional 4 meat PNWBA event, the Camp Korey Charity BBQ is a 3rd year event that provides a BBQ vending event raising money for charity along with a major cooking competition thrown in. There is a total prize purse of... $50,000 for the single competition making it the richest 2024 CASH pro BBQ event west of Kansas City!
Here's a unique opportunity for our judges. PNWBA could use some assistance with a number of tasks on Saturday. If you can be a Saturday volunteer at the camp, it would be awesome. It's a charity event for a wonderful camp dedicated to kids who can't attend other camps like the YMCA because of significant medical issues. This is our way of helping in that wonderful mission. To sign up to volunteer on Saturday please email Pat Maddock directly and as soon as you can at patrick.maddock@cbrealty.com.

We are planning on 8 judging tables. We strongly recommend that if the signups are full to signup for the waiting list.
We are looking for the following:
- 48 Judges. Judges will be selected with preference for PNWBA Certified BBQ Judges. If you are not a PNWBA CBJ but are a KCBS CBJ, then you may be placed in a volunteer position or moved to a wait list as PNWBA CBJ's are given preference.
- 8 Table Captains. Preference will be to certified as Table Captains.
- 5-6 Volunteers, i.e. Food Runners, Meat Wranglers, and general helpers.
Due to the fluid nature of this event, signing up does not guarantee a judging spot. Please be willing to volunteer and help as needed.
The head judges will make the final assessment of volunteers and choose the seated judges. Tables will also be adjusted by the Head Judges at the event to try and even out the judge levels and experience.

Please sign up for the waitlist if initial spots are full and we need to replace folks who have to cancel. We had to use several from the waitlist for our past events.
