Save the date! On Saturday, July 13^th, we invite you to join us for the 15^th Annual Sweet N’ Stickey in Dickey Rib Cook-off. This exciting event will take place outside of Dickey Bar, situated at 217 4^th Ave, Dickey, N.D. 58431. The Rib Cook-off is a donation-based event, with all proceeds benefitting Hospice of the Red River Valley to honor the memory of loved ones who have passed away.

This is an all-day event, with ribs starting to be served at 6:00 p.m. We kindly request attendees contribute a donation of their choice for their meal.

If you’re interested in showcasing your culinary skills and competing in the rib cook-off contest, please contact Chrissy Kartes at (701) 361-8124. A registration fee of $20 will be required for participants entering their recipe.

• The registration fee includes a Sweet N’ Stickey t-shirt, power and turn-in pans for submitting your final dish for both the People’s Choice and Judge’s Choice categories.
• Contestants must bring their own ribs (three or more racks of ribs, Spare or St. Louis).
• Ribs will need to be cooked, cut and ready for presentation to judges by 5:30 p.m.
• Participants are responsible for bringing their own grill/smoker and utensils.

Those who are interested in cooking ribs to donate and serve, without participating in the competition, have the option of joining the potluck. The potluck option is free of charge and does not include a t-shirt. Participants can simply contribute the ribs they wish to donate, cook them and serve them during the event.

In addition to the rib-cook off, the event will include the following:

• Pit Stop Mobile Axe Throwing from 2:00 – 5:00 p.m.
• Dakota Inflatables from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m.
• The Great Outdoors band from 7:00 – 11:00 p.m.
