COOKS PAGE

Anybody preparing, handling, or cooking food at the event.

Registration is necessary for planning purposes, and ensures eligibility for receipt of any donated wings. All cooks should review the short food handling and safety videos courtesy of Central District Health. Each food safety video is only a few minutes in length, and helps ensure proper food handling and safety.

In years previous, we have been very fortunate to have wing donations from such great sponsors as Sysco, Tyson, Smart Chicken, and Food Services of America. We greatly appreciate any and all wing donations to help supplement the quantities of food offered at this event by our many excellent cooks! If you have a contact that can supply food items for the event, please contact us via the Contact page.

    We'd like to take a moment to remember our dear friend Paul Rensberger who passed in 2016. Paul was a huge fan of this event, and supplied hundreds of donated pounds of Tyson wings to assist our cooks over the years. We miss Paul, and extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to his daughters, extended family, and friends.
