(KLZA)-- The Second Annual Sauce and Cycles Event sponsored by the Falls City Chamber of Commerce is going on Friday and Saturday in Falls City.

Professional barbecue teams as well as “Backyard Grillers” will be cooking to try and win a portion of more than $20,000 in prize money on the line.

Events Friday night include the Peoples Choice Award for best ribs. Purchase of a $10 wrist band will allow you to sample a box of 6 ribs and then vote on what you like best. There is a limit to how many people will be able to take part. Only 20 teams can enter the cooking competition.

Following the Peoples Choice Award event, the Chamber is hosting an outdoor movie, showing Road Hogs on the screen that will be set up at 18th and Stone Street. You need to bring your own chairs and enjoy the movie.

The barbecue teams will be cooking all night Friday night in preparation for the Saturday judging. While waiting on the judging you are invited to take part in a fund-raising cruise.

Sign-up is 9-11 a-m with the cruise going from 11 a-m – 5 p-m.

The Kansas City Barbecue Society will accept entries from the cookers between noon and 2 p-m from the professional cookers, followed by the Backyard Grillers. Following the judging the awards will be handed out in the 1700 block of Stone Street.

The Cycles portion of the event will be a daylong event. Motorcycles will be checking in from 2 – 3:30 p-m with judging beginning at 4 p-m. There are seven different categories of motorcycles to be judged.

After 3 o’clock, some of the barbecue food will be available for purchase from the cookers. You will need to purchase a $10, blue wrist band to enter the area from 17th to 19th and Stone that will be fenced off for the event.

A beer garden opens at 4 p-m on Stone Street and from 7-11 p-m the High Heel Band will perform on the Stage on Stone Street.
