Chadron Ace Hardware and Annex held a successful 2nd annual "Blackstone Battle" grilling contest on June 25.
"We had some amazing food and even better people come down and join us for this great event," Chadron Ace Hardware said. "We raised over $1,000 for charity and each contestant had a blast. A huge thank you to our sponsors for helping us put this show on and making memories of a wonderful time."
Chadron Ace Hardware gave away prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
"Coming in 3rd was Brooke," Chadron Ace Hardware said. She did an amazing job with some barbecue chicken tacos. 2nd place was Austin. He made some amazing Asian cuisine that you just had to be there for. The winner of the $1,500 Blackstone griddle was Jock and Lisa Faris [of Alliance] with their chicken and shrimp stuffed quesadillas and apple, cinnamon and sugar impanadas...they were able to secure their victory!"
Jock and Lisa Faris will decide which charity the proceeds will go to.
Fryday's 120 Bar provided the Chadron community with beverages and Tanner John's Band was the main entertainment.
"Thank you again for everyone who came out and supported this great event," Chadron Ace Hardware said. "We look forward to seeing even more of you next year."
