2021 WhistleStop Weekend – People’s Choice Awards

NEW IN 2021 – THE MAYOR’S CUP COMPETITION as part of People’s Choice.

In addition to the traditional People’s Choice competition detailed below, public tasters will receive tokens when purchasing their tickets… Money will still be used to determine the People’s Choice winners, but only their true favorites will receive their tokens.

The team with the most tokens will take home THE MAYOR’S CUP!

Everyone attending WhistleStop on Saturday between 1pm and 3pm will have a chance to “put your money where your mouth is!” Many of the backyard cooking teams competing in the Shadetree Competition will have boston butt samples available for you to taste!

Vote for your favorite by placing coins or cash in the jar provided at their cook-site. The team with the most money will be announced as the People’s Choice Award winner during the Awards Presentations at 8:15 p.m. on the main stage. Awards will be presented to first, second, and third Place. All proceeds will benefit educational programming at the EarlyWorks Museums.

Look for the Flag—participating teams will be flying a flag at their cook site.

Note: this competition is only open to those also registered in the Shade Tree competition
