Bacon Bash, Cornhole Competition & Bash A Car Event Friday, April 23rd

ENID, OK - The United Way of NW OK has partnered with Hanor Family of Companies and the Stride Bank Center to host a Bacon Bash cook off competition on Friday, April 23, 2021. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top 5 contestants.

“We are excited and look forward to seeing many of our Chili Cook Off volunteers, chefs, friends and supporters at this event. Since we were unable to hold the Chili Cook Off last year, we decided to add this Bacon Bash event in order to help United Way reach its goal. Not only will everyone be able to sample the wonderful bacon recipes, but also enter a cornhole competition if they wish and have an opportunity to take out COVID-19 stress and frustrations by bashing a car,” said committee chair Cindy Bailey.

Bacon chefs will receive 25 lbs of Hanor Farms Daily’s bacon the night before or the morning of the competition. Each chef will prepare 300 samples and present to the judges at 4:00 PM on Friday. The public will then be able to sample bacon recipes from 5:30 PM until 7:30 PM or until the bacon samples run out. Tickets are $10 for 10 samples. Tickets can be purchased in advance at Stride Bank Center or United Way offices. Otherwise, they will be sold at the event.

“We are excited to hold this “Bash” outside in the open air and hope everyone will attend. The event will be held on Independence street just west of the Stride Bank Center, the cornhole competition will be held on the Plaza and Bash the Car will be in the parking lot area,” said Dan Schiedel, CEO of United Way of NW Oklahoma.

Schiedel added, “We still have slots available for teams to cook in this competition, so call today!”
