If the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest is so cool it's indescribable, then the Ms. Piggie Competition is off the charts!

Imagine, if it's not too painful, grown men and women dressed in tutus and snouts parading around the stage and 'singing' (which is a generous term) familiar songs, with very unfamiliar lyrics ... lyrics having to do with pork, grilling, and the whole sport of barbecue. Yes, it's the Ms. Piggie contest, the most hilarious and entertaining event during the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest.

It is the event not to be missed!
