Poultry Festival attendees can't stop talking about the 2012 Barbecue Contest & Fair!  We had a record breaking 31 teams that entered and each team is a winner in our hearts!  The food was plentiful and tasty, the booths were patriotically decorated, and the skits were memorable.  Thank you to every cook team member for their participation.  Special thanks to Barbecue Chairman Doug Cloud and Co-Chair Mike Prpich and their team of volunteers who work so hard to bring us the best barbecue fun every year!  Here are the contest results.  Check out our photos on Facebook:  www.facebook.com/poultryfed
