100 Black Men of Valdosta is hosting its 28th Annual Barbecue Cook-off Competition at Drexel Park, located at 1401 North Patterson Street. Vendors and cookers can set up on Friday, August 4, at 11 am. On Saturday, August 5, all participants can start at 6 am. 

Attorney Nathaniel Haugabrook, II, Chapter President, said, “Competing for the title of best chicken and ribs will start at noon. There will be drawings for a variety of prizes (e.g., tv, gas cards, dinner for two), activities for the youth, music to entertain, and food to satisfy the most finicky taste pallets.” This is a “time for families to enjoy a day of fun in the sun.”

Proceeds from this event will benefit the 100’s scholarship/education program, which was established in 1995. Each year, the organization awards four scholarships to well-deserving seniors to help defray the soaring cost of enrolling in an institution of higher learning. The 100 also provides financial assistance to those in need and tutoring for our youth. To date, the 100 has awarded more than $150,000 in scholarships and other assistance.
