Capital City Cook-off on tap tonight

The Eighth Annual Capital City Cook-Off is scheduled from 5-8 p.m. today at the Jefferson City Jaycees Fairgrounds.

The evening includes the Buck-A-Bone BBQ Rib Competition & Fundraiser, which includes all-you-can-eat ribs from more than 36 cooking teams. Jim Logan will provide music.

All proceeds from the fundraiser benefit the Special Learning Center. Since the event began, it has raised more than $88,000 to help the SLC.

Tickets are $15 and may be purchased at the SLC, 1115 Fairgrounds Road, or at Hy-Vee, 3721 W. Truman Blvd. If not sold out, tickets will also be available at the fairgrounds gate.
