All About the Lake of the Ozarks Region State Champion Cook-Off
The 27th Annual Laurie Hillbilly BBQ Cook-Off will be located at the Laurie Fairgrounds, between Camdenton and Versailles on Hwy. 5, on the west side of the Lake of the Ozarks. We hope you will be joining us for two fun-filled days of eating and cooking at what we think is one of the most beautiful fairgrounds in Missouri. If you are registered to compete in the Cook-Off, you could win some of the $6775.00 in cash prizes, trophies, and ribbons that have been provided for winners of this competition.If you are a lucky BBQ Cook-Off Contestant, your entry fee includes both Friday and Saturday nights. The city of Laurie is willing to work with contestants if they would like to come in before Friday night; the city also has secure areas where you may leave your smokers and other equipment if you choose to stay longer to enjoy our beautiful Lake of the Ozarks. This year, you may sell your BBQ to the public! The city of Laurie will be setting up and advertising Friday night as the time for this to happen. If you want to sell your fantastic bar-b-que, make sure to apply for a Morgan County Food Vendor permit before the contest. Visit the main website for the City of Laurie to obtain more information on getting that application package.
