Turn in time for judging is 2:45pm - each team must provide 6 wings for judging.

4. Public Tasting at 3:00pm:

At 3:00pm we will begin public tasting of the wings. Patrons will buy a punch card to sample each contestant's wings. Each punch card is good for 8 wings. They will also be given a paper boat to put the wings in. One punch = 1 wing. Someone at your booth will need to be sure the card gets marked off for each wing they taste! The tasting & the People's Choice voting will go on while the wing supplies last. Awards will be given out shortly after. Live music will play from 3-7pm. 

5. Booth Tear Down:

Areas must be cleaned up at the end of the festival. All equipment must be off the premises immediately following the event. Please clean up any trash that is within your booth space and deliver all garbage to the dumpster. For those that are frying their wings, a Wingfest official will be able to direct you to the grease dumpster where you can dispose of your old grease after the cook off. DO NOT DUMP GREASE IN OR NEAR THE RIVER. Acceptable tear down including a clean booth area as determined and will guarantee your refund of your $50 Entry Deposit.
