When
The 3rd Saturday each June, from 11am till we say it's over. The event tends to peak around 1pm, so don't be late as wristband purchase is required to sample wings, and we are limiting the number of wristbands sold at the event to optimize the experience for those guests that have been invited.

History
In the summer of 2001, the Hollingshead brothers decided to answer the question of who had the best hot wing recipe via an informal backyard grilling contest. Since then, our friends, neighbors, colleagues, and new friends have grown this event into an annual taste sensation you don't want to miss.

Why
Why do we do it? Cause we said we could. Actually, what started as sibling rivalry has grown over the years, and is a way for the cooks and supporting folks to give something back to our friends and family while paying it forward to our community youth, engage in a little smack-talk, and share the greatest wing recipes of all time. Bring what you can to contribute, a blanket, shade canopy, a cooler (no glass), and spend the day with us. Seriously, pack up the family, or just yourself, and join the fun!

Rules
There is no cost to enter the inner sanctum of cooks and serve up your favorite recipe. Whether you cook wings or not, bring your favorite recipe and join the action. If you'd like to compete, present your wing recipe(s) to the judges and see if you can take home an awesome trophy and some prize money. There are however a few basic park rules: No glass bottles, containers, etc. are allowed in the park. Plastic containers only. Pets are welcome however clean up is the owner's responsibility, so plan ahead. A "pack it in, pack it out" mentality is required to keep the park clean. Alcohol is permitted (plastic or cans only). Music is provided. If you choose to bring sporting equipment (volleyball, frisbee, football, etc...) to entertain your crew and others, please be considerate and ensure activities are a safe distance away from the grills and other guests.
