The Machine Shed is taking entries from amateur cooks to compete in the upcoming "Iowa Pork Tailgate Challenge" with all proceeds going to the Child Abuse Council.

Up to 12 amateur grill contestants are invited to bring their own grill and equipment and prepare their recipes using Pork Tenderloin or Pork Loin (all pork will be provided to them). They will have approx. 2 hours to prepare and cook their entrée and present to a panel of judges as well as offer samples for "Peoples choice" throughout the day. There is no cost to enter, but contestants will need to call and register at the Machine Shed by Oct. 17th.

The Challenge will be held on Saturday, Nov. 6th at the Iowa Machine Shed and prizes will be awarded for the following:

Tailgate pork package for 20 people for "People's Choice" award
$150 gift certificate to the Shed for 1st Place Judges pick
$100 gift certificate to the Shed for 2nd Place Judges pick
$50 gift certificate to the Shed for 3rd Place Judges pick

Guests and visitors will be able to purchase a $2.00 ticket to sample the contestant's entrees and vote for their favorite. All proceeds go to the Child Abuse Council.
