The battle is about to begin: Our 8th Annual Tailgate Food Competition is back! This year, the competition is bigger and better than ever, and we’d love for you to take part. Participants are challenged to put out their best bite and let the tailgaters decide who should be named top dog.
Each competitor is required to provide 250 bites for the tasting portion of our big day, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, February 7th. The winner will be announced at 1:30 p.m. The winner will not only receive bragging rights, but will have their win promoted on AHS social media and in our thank you email. May the best bite win!
To sign up for this culinary battle, email our events team at events@austinhumanesociety.org by Friday, January 30th.
