Showdown Time!

A mathematical glitch resulted in TWO overall Grand Champion winners at the 2012 Pork Cook-Off Showdown! The day of the event, Zack Ahlgren of Kewanee, assisted by Denny Kubiak and Gerry Henning were declared winners of and received the $250 Grand Champion prize. Later, after Hog Days was over for the year, an additional review revealed  that Kurt Jagers of Atkinson, IL was entitled to the Grand Champion winnings. Kurt was then also awarded a $250 Grand Champion Prize.

Co-sponsored in 2012 by Save A Lot Meat & Grocery and hosted by the Station House Restaurant of Kewanee, grills were set up in and around the Station House Patio and at 12:01 AM Sunday morning, September 2nd of Hog Days weekend the cooking battle began! Contestants could enter in any or all of three categories...Ribs, Roasts or Miscellaneous.  Panels of judges sampled and declared winners.

Winners, (listed below) received $250 cash awards for first place and the overall grand champion winners each received an additional $250 prize.  Second Place was good for $75 in each category and Third Place garnered $25.
