Modern Gas Company is set to host the 2022 Annual Rib Showdown competition on Saturday, October 22, at its new event location – Chehaw Park. The venue change allows for more competition teams, food vendors and attenders and comes on the heels of the largest Rib Showdown in 2021, which boasts of twenty-two competition teams and over 700 people in attendance.

In addition, the event will feature entertainment from area bands, local food trucks, a cash bar, fun activities for kids, a cornhole tournament and more. 

The grilling competition begins at noon, with activities lasting until 9 p.m. The event is included with park admission.
