🏈🔥 THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT IS HERE! 🔥🏈
After weeks of teasing, we’re excited to officially announce The Rib Bowl, coming to Selmer, Tennessee on Labor Day Weekend!
This will be a day filled with great food, friendly competition, and community spirit featuring:
🏆 Two Rib Cook Off Association sanctioned rib contests (St. Louis & Baby Back)
🍗 Wing Ancillary Competition
🎉 People’s Choice Anything Tailgate Contest
👑 Grand Champion Award
🏈 Best Tailgate Theme Site Award
But The Rib Bowl is about more than barbecue.
Every dollar raised helps support the young athletes at FSL Elite Training as they learn the value of discipline, hard work, commitment, and pursuing their goals both on and off the field. This event is an opportunity for our community to invest in the next generation while enjoying a day of competition, football, and fun.
And trust us… this is only the first announcement.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll be revealing additional activities, special guests, fan experiences, and opportunities that will make The Rib Bowl much more than a barbecue competition. We have big plans for this event, and we’re just getting started.
🔥 COOKS: REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN! 🔥
Whether you’re a seasoned competition team, a backyard pitmaster ready to test your skills, or a tailgate crew looking to compete for People’s Choice, we want you on the field.
