Kansas City Midnight Silver Plate Q Food Drive and Contest
Here is an idea I have;
I know that Harvester’s is having a lot of trouble stocking food right now. Combine that with shelters needing food (Turkey’s) for the upcoming thanksgiving holiday. And here is the idea I have. What if we can put together a food drive / Comp cook out. 50% of Entry fees goes to the food bank 50% go to payouts Get area businesses to donate things for a raffle The general public get a raffle ticket for each item donated BBQ teams will be provided spots to cook (electricity) and will cook a comp style event but the turn in times will be leading up to 12:00am Each team will also cook (1) if not more Turkeys to be given to shelters Winner gets 50% of entry fees and bragging rights and (trophy/banner/silver plate) to hold for the next year Let me know your thoughts, I know it may be to late but I think we could do a lot of good for others who need the help. Thank you. Will (Stick-n-Chicks BBQ)

Guess this wasn't a good idea by the lack of comments.

I don't think there's enough time to pull something like this together. Plus alot of ppl are comped out. Maybe just a charity cook. Get someone to donat turkeys and have ppl come together and cook them.

Will - I think the idea could go someplace, alot of folks were gone this weekend (Garden City and the Jack) -- But I think Vern is right.... Getting sponsors, donations, location, etc. all in the next couple weeks is a pretty tall order.
Even the small event I pull together at Melvern takes several months of work to pull off. With the economy like it is... You might have a hard time finding a way to pull it together, or getting a location to work with you.

I love the idea of helping out organizations like havesters or some of the other local food pantries. I'm sure that most of us cook up some turkeys & other stuff for the Holidays. Why not throw a couple of extra turkeys or butts on to donate? It doesn't take much to contact a local church to find out who could use a little extra help. I love the idea of a get together to do this, but there are alot of ways we can help out those in need. Same results, just a different way of doing it. Anyone who would be serious about doing a cook like is described above, just take the $ you would have spent on gas & beer & donate that. Throw in some a$$ kick'n smoked turkey, and you can make someone real happy. Just a thought. Steve

I think this year is to late but I'm going to really chew on this for next year. I am going to talk with Harvesters to find out how or if they are interested as well as a few shelters to donate the cooked food to. Who would be willing to cook some turkeys with me the weekend before thanksgiving?

We donate 8000+ lbs of pork in the spring to Harvesters, and help other similar groups nationally start thier own cooks.... We also already do some turkeys, and will have a winterfest this year... we might be able to help you run with your idea as well.

That would be great, I spoke to my church (CLC - Shawnee Mission Pkwy and Monticello) which has plenty of room for 20-30 teams and we can use the parking lot and have access to water. Please also let me know what else I can do in helping with Kookers Kare.
