SUMMARY:The Little Mountain Mid-Carolina Pigskin Cook-Off (SCBA)
DESCRIPTION:Fundraising is the Reason\n\n\n\nThe Town of Little Mountain and the Mid-Carolina High School football program will host the annual Little Mountain Pigskin Cook-Off. They will hold the cook-off in Reunion Park. \n\n\n\nMid-Carolina Head Coach Chris Arnoult decided to launch the event after having the success of hosting his own barbecue competitions previously.  \n\n\n\nArnoult felt that bringing The Little Mountain Pigskin Cook-Off to Mid-Carolina would help benefit the MCHS football team. \n\n\n\n\n\n"The Little Mountain Pigskin Cook-Off is a fundraiser I started a couple of years ago in Chesterfield\," Arnoult said. \n\n\n\n"I always felt like I was asking the kids to do things to raise money for the program so I wanted to kind of take the pressure off them a little bit.” \n\n\n\nFundraising is the lifeblood of many school programs across the US\, both for athletics and beyond.  \n\n\n\nWithout the time and effort of fundraising -- a common additional burden to students\, athletes\, and their parents -- the funds simply would not come from anywhere else and those programs and efforts would suffer. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Little Mountain Pigskin Cook-Off "will allow us to make improvements to our facilities\, purchase equipment for the guys\, purchase equipment for the weight room\, help with travel and feeding the guys\, buying Gatorade\," Arnoult said.  \n\n\n\n"Facility and equipment is a large portion of that.” \n\n\n\n\n\nLittle Mountain Pigskin Cook-Off Competition\n\n\n\nThe South Carolina Barbecue Association officially sanctioned the cook-off and will provide the judges. \n\n\n\nThey and the teams will arrive around lunchtime that Friday to set up and begin cooking into the next morning. As the host\, the Little Mountain Pigskin Cook-Off supplies the cookers with a case of Boston Butts. \n\n\n\nThat way all of the meats the cookers use are of equal quality. This provides equanimity\, eliminating a possible advantage for cookers who might otherwise splurge for prime cuts. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe cookers must turn in their entries by 10 a.m. Judges will award prizes to the top five finishers at 2 p.m. Judges score the entries based on presentation\, tenderness\, flavor\, and more. \n\n\n\nFirst place will receive a cash prize of $1\,500 and a trophy (and free entry into next year’s event).  \n\n\n\nSecond place will receive a trophy and $1\,000. Third will receive a trophy and $500. Fourth place will receive a trophy. \n\n\n\nThe Little Mountain Pigskin Cook-Off will also host a People’s Choice Champion where the public will vote on their favorite barbecue\, That winner will receive a trophy and $250. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Little Mountain Pigskin Cook-Off held rain or shine. Arnoult said when people buy a ticket\, they will be eligible to get a two-ounce sample of each team. \n\n\n\n“I just think it’s a unique way to raise some money for the program and give something enjoyable back to the community also\,” he said. \n\n\n\nCome out and support Mid-Carolina at The Little Mountain Pigskin Cook-Off! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Organizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Location\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBest Places to Stay Nearby\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWeather Forecast\n\n\n\nLITTLE MOUNTAIN WEATHER

SUMMARY:Benefit BBQ for Boy Scouts (SCBA)
DESCRIPTION:BBQ and Wings\n\n\n\nAre you a fan of barbecue and chicken wings?  \n\n\n\nThen you don’t want to miss the Benefit BBQ for Boy Scouts at the Sumter County Fair Grounds\, hosted by the Pee Dee Area Council’s Henry Shelor District. \n\n\n\nThe Henry Shelor District consists of Sumter\, Lee\, and Clarendon counties. The Council will hold the event at the Fairgrounds Agricultural Building located at 700 West Liberty Street. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Event\n\n\n\nDuring the two-day event\, patrons who buy 10 tickets for $10 can redeem them for chicken wings (drums and flats)\, hot dogs\, drinks\, and more at "Wing Ding" on Friday night or at the BBQ competition on Saturday. \n\n\n\nAdditional tickets are $1 each. Cook teams serve wings starting when the gates open Friday evening\, and the Wing Ding runs into the night. \n\n\n\nOn Saturday\, the gates open to the public at 11:00 a.m.   \n\n\n\n\n\nPatrons who purchase a wristband will be allowed to roam from station to station to sample BBQ. You will receive a 2-ounce serving of barbecue at each visit.  \n\n\n\nEach time\, you will present your wristband to the Boy Scout assigned to the station you approach. If you wish\, you may visit a station multiple times\, but you must have your wristband on to receive BBQ. \n\n\n\nIndeed\, you may roam from station to station on Saturday until closing or when the BBQ runs out.  For crowd flow\, late entry may be limited in the early afternoon. \n\n\n\n\n\nFor patrons looking to save money\, the Benefit BBQ for Boy Scouts organizers will sell a pass that admits the purchaser all weekend. \n\n\n\nIn short\, all the money raised will go toward funding programs for Cub and Boy Scouts in the Pee Dee Area Council\, which covers 11 counties in Eastern S.C. One of these programs is Camp Coker\, a summer camp in the state. \n\n\n\nOrganizers typically offer a weekend pass option that covers both days. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Competition\n\n\n\nAs for the competition\, the contestants will present their boxed samples to the SCBA Judges in accordance with association rules. \n\n\n\nThe cookers will prepare the butts received from Henry Shelor District and must have their barbecue ready for public consumption no later than 11:00 a.m. Saturday. Patron samples come in two-ounce cups. \n\n\n\nAt 1 p.m.\, vendors will begin selling barbecue by the pound. The barbecue costs only $5 for a half-pound or $10 for a pound. \n\n\n\n\n\n"It's $10 for all the barbecue you can sample\," Glenn Button said. Button serves as the Henry Shelor District chairman and event chairman \n\n\n\nIn addition\, the Benefit BBQ for Boy Scouts will sponsor an optional ribs competition.  Contestants who wish to enter the optional ribs competition assume responsibility for providing their own ribs. \n\n\n\nEach of the participating cook teams oversees the management of the rib competition.  After judging\, participants in the rib event decide what to do with the ribs as they choose.   \n\n\n\nIn fact\, contestants in the rib competition may choose to sell their ribs on-premises to patrons that wish to purchase them.  \n\n\n\n\n\nHowever\, each individual competitor determines their own prices and presentation of ribs for sale. Patrons are welcome to purchase ribs. \n\n\n\nAs part of the competition\, cook teams from around the state and beyond participates each year. In addition\, the event remains a South Carolina Barbeque Association-sanctioned event. \n\n\n\nAs a result\, the SCBA provides judges for the competitions and will determine the winner of the Benefit BBQ for Boy Scouts.  Prizes will be distributed at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. \n\n\n\n\n\nPrizes for the annual Benefit BBQ for Boy Scouts:\n\n\n\n\n$1\,000 BBQ First Place\n\n\n\n$750 BBQ Second Place\n\n\n\n$500 BBQ Third Place\n\n\n\n$250 BBQ Fourth Place\n\n\n\n$100 BBQ Fifth Place\n\n\n\n$250 Wings First Place\n\n\n\n$100 Wings Second Place\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBenefit BBQ for Boy Scouts Sponsors and Extras\n\n\n\nThe event also boasts many sponsors. Despite what many think\, it is virtually impossible to hold such an event without them. Sponsors are essential to the event. \n\n\n\n"I would like to thank all the sponsors\," Button said. "It wouldn't be possible without them." \n\n\n\nVendors will be on hand\, selling water\, sodas\, peanuts\, kettle corn\, and funnel cakes. There will also be a Kona Ice truck selling snow cones. \n\n\n\n\n\n"We'll also have a children's activities area\," Button said. "There will be games\, bounce houses\, and face painting." \n\n\n\nButton wants patrons to remember what BSA is all about. This is reflected in its mission and goal: \n\n\n\n"The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe BSA's goal is to train youth in responsible citizenship\, character development\, and self-reliance through participation in a wide range of outdoor activities\, educational programs\, and at older age levels\, career-oriented programs in partnership with community organizations." \n\n\n\nTickets are typically sold online\, at the gate\, and through local Scouts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Organizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Location\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBest Places to Stay Nearby\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWeather Forecast\n\n\n\nSUMTER WEATHER
