The 8th annual Mark Marley’s Go Big or Go Home BBQ Bash will be held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May 14 through 16, 2021 at the Running Water Draw (Kidsville) Park in Plainview. The three-day event will include a state-sanctioned barbecue cook-off, concerts featuring Micky and the Motorcars and Cooder Graw, and many other activities.
The Kansas City Barbecue Society (KCBS) state-sanctioned barbecue cook-off will begin on Friday night and includes a KCBS Steak Cook-off, Cooks Choice; a dessert contest; and a Margarita Mix-off. Entry fee for the steak cook-off is $75, and all other entry fees are $25.
Saturday will begin with a Kids’ Q—a cook-off for youngsters. Kids in two age categories will cook steaks: ages 6 through 11 and ages 12 through 17. Entry fee is $25. New this year is the Celebrate Real Pork Series Kids’ Q in conjunction with KCBS and the National Pork Board. Young chefs will have an opportunity to cook pork chops and win additional prizes.
The event will feature a Saturday and Sunday KCBS Cook-off. Both events include four meat categories (pork ribs, chicken, pork and brisket) and will offer cash prizes totaling $6,500 for each contest. Entry fees are $225 for the first cook-off and $200 for the second; KCBS association is not required. The Grand Champion for each cook-off qualifies for the American Royal Invitational and a chance at the Jack Daniels Invitational, as well as points from the competition apply to KCBS team point scores and Texas BBQ Society scores.
The contest will also include a Celebrate Real Pork Chop Series ancillary competition. Prizes are sponsored by the National Pork Board, and there is no entry fee for this event.
Participants who don’t want to compete in the cook-off are encouraged to enter the Backyard Brawl, a competition for master weekend grillers who enjoy cooking but don’t wish to chase points. Entry fee is $50, and the meat is being supplied by Ben E. Keith. Cash prizes will be awarded.
