The National Bar-B-Que Derby Event Guide • September 2013

By Linda [email protected]

The National Bar-B-Que Derby will offer plenty of lip-smacking barbecue, but this year there are expanded activities.

More than 40 barbecue teams are expected to be in Derby on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 6-7, to compete for over $6,850 in cash and prizes in the Open Category. Another 10 teams will compete in the Backyard Category.

In its second year, the

National Bar-B-Que Derby offers new activities

barbecue expanded into Friday evening events, with a concert featuring Those Party Bros and beer garden. Organizers are urging those who attend Friday’s home football game to stop by High Park and catch the start of the festivities after the game.

On Saturday, the events are in full swing, and all will be enhanced by the tantalizing aroma of barbecue f loat ing through High Park. In addition to tasting of the barbecue, there will be a beer garden, car show and valve cover races, a variety of activities in the Cox Kids’ Corner, concerts throughout the day and barbecue, pie and chocolate chip cookie competitions.

This special publication from The Derby Informer is designed to provide those attending the event a chance to learn what is going on during the barbecue weekend. In these pages you will find a schedule of events and

a map showing what is going on; stories on the competitions and how to enter them; information about the Airman and Fa m i l y R e a d i n e s s Program at McConnell Air

Force Base which benefits f rom the barbecue ; and other stories about barbecue that we hope will leave you salivating and anticipating a fun-filled weekend.

The National Bar-B-Que Derby has a meatier kids’ fare this year – a magician, balloon artists, make-it-take it projects, and balsa

airplanes.C ox K i d s ’ C o r n e r

Activities begin at 10 a.m. and continue through 4 p.m.

“We’re really excited to be offering the kids plenty of fun things to do

this year,” said Jennifer Keller, Derby community marketing director. “Getting Cox Communications as a sponsor was great, and Wheat State Hobbies has been great to work with, too.”

Kids area is beefed up this year

DAVI STUHLSATZ/Informer photo Magician Shawn Reida, who will appear at the Cox Kids’ Corner during the National Bar-B-Que Derby, entertained Derby children during a program this summer at the Derby Public Library.

The first 500 kids to attend the event will be given a balsa airplane glider courtesy of Wheat State Hobbies and Derby Radio Controlled Club.

“These groups wi l l conduct demonstrations, have informal contests to see who can fly their glider farther, and they will have candy bombings throughout the event,” said Keller.

Candy bombings – in which a radio-controlled airplane drops assorted small candies from the sky – were popular at the Derby Kite Festival in May.

“I promise no one will get hurt by the bombings,” Keller said, with a laugh.

The miss ion of the Kansas City Barbeque Society sounds as soulful as the food itself – celebrate, teach, preserve and promote barbeque as a culinary technique, sport and art form.

The KCBS, based out of one of the most revered barbecue cities in the nation, will oversee the third annual National Bar-B-Que Derby on Sept. 6-7.

The first two National Bar-B-Que Derby events were sanctioned by the National Barbecue News based out of Georgia. This year, Derby took a local approach with the Kansas City-based organization.

The KCBS sanctions more than 400 contests in 44 states across the U.S. annually, making it the largest barbecue organization in the world, according to its extensive website. The organization cur ren t ly has 14 ,000 professional members worldwide.

Having the National Bar-B-Que Derby sanctioned by the KCBS adds integrity to the culinary contest, which many traveling participants take seriously.

The previous Bar-B-Que Derby featured 24 Open competition teams and 13 Backyard barbecuers.

This year, the KCBS will provide trained and certified judges for the event who use a blind scoring system

for chicken, rib, pork and brisket. Scoring will be based on taste, appearance and texture.

T h e n o n - p r o f i t corporat ion, which is administered by a 12-seat board of directors, was formed in 1986. Founders Carolyn and Gary Well and Rick Welch based the membership of their newly formed club under one notion, “That none of it be taken seriously.”

That has all changed over the years as membership grew from a few close f r i e n d s t o 1 , 4 0 0 b y 1993. Two years later, the volunteer board was participating in strategic planning exercises and setting long-term goal and objectives.

With the move of the Nat ional Bar-B-Que Derby to the Kansas City Barbeque Society affiliation, the judging system jumps to a whole new level.

S h o r t l y a f t e r t h e affiliation was announced this spring, KCBS certified judges began signing up for the local event. KCBS does its own training of judges at year-round events and Derby will benefit from the knowledge of judges from all across Kansas and Oklahoma, according to Jennifer Keller, event chairman.

Exper ience in the

judges ranges from two barbecues to one who has judged over 125 contests, she said. The experience will create more consistency in awards, she said.

M a ny j u d g e s a r e couples who have made the competitions a hobby. They are not placed on the same judging team to help maintain the judging consistency.

“If you are eating food at the same house, you have the same palate,” Keller said.

The contest is for kids only and is a Chocolate Chip Cookie contest, but kids are encouraged to be creative with their baking. The chocolate chips are mandatory, but the cook

can put whatever else he or she wants in the cookie.

Imagine all the yummy variations that kids could dream up for this contest.

The kids do need to be the cooks for this contest. Of course, it’s safety first when children are baking, but help and supervision from an adult should be limited to only what is necessary.

The area in which beer can be purchased and consumed is expanding for this year’s National Bar-B-Que Derby.

A smaller 10x10-foot tent will be added near the Rods-N-Ribs Charity Car Show in addition to a large tent by the amphitheater. These two tents will sell beer, soda and bottled water.

In addition to the tents, participants

are allowed to take beer throughout the designated area west of the ponds which includes the car show, barbecue stands and vendors.

Beer cannot be taken into the children’s area. A city ordinance forbids alcohol being brought into the park and those who purchase it must remain in designated areas, said Jean Epperson, director of finance/city clerk.

The Derby Noon Lions Club organizes and staffs the beer tents.

Beer Garden expands to two tents 2013 Sponsors

The Rods-N-Ribs Charity Car Show will once again be a highlight of this year’s National Bar-B-Que Derby at High Park.

Registration begins at 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 7 with judging starting at 10 a.m. Father and son duo Nick and Jason Jones will once again be judges and awards, 38 total, will be handed out around 3:15 p.m., said Stu Puls, event coordinator.

“We had 95 cars last year and we’re hoping for just as big a turnout, if not more,” he said. “We’d be very pleased if we can get 100 cars. I think we could easily accommodate 125 to 150 cars.”

The show will have four categories: cars, trucks, motorcycles and special interest. Special interest can include go-karts, rat rods and boats, Puls said.

The cost to preregister is $15 and $20 the day of the show. Puls said he has received less than 10 entries so far but said that is normal. Last year he only had 10 vehicles preregistered, with 85 registering the day of the event.


The second annual Rods-N-Ribs Charity Car Show will include a new feature this year – valve cover races.

A valve cover conceals the rocker arm in an internal combustion engine. Those competing in the race attach wheels to the valve cover to race on a track.

“You flip a lever, it lets go of both cars and they roll down the incline track, like a Pinewood Derby racer, and whichever car gets to

the end first wins,” said Tom Wilhite, who is helping to organize the event.

There will be two kinds of races, he said, valve covers with rubber tires and ones with metal tires. Tires can be as big as four inches.

Va l ve cove rs mus t maintain original size and shape, be no more than eight inches tall and wide, and have a length between 10 and 24 inches. Racers can weigh no more than eight pounds and cannot have anything extending past the front edge of the mounting surface.

Valve cover races are new feature at Rods-N-Ribs

Popular car show returns for barbecue

Informer file photo Last year’s charity car show brought in 95 entries, which drew large crowds. Event coordinator Stu Puls hopes to have at least 100 this year.

“A lot of people wait and see what the weather’s going to be like,” he said.

All proceeds from the car show will be donated to the Kansas Food Bank Warehouse and McConnell’s Airman and Family Readiness Center. Puls said he would like for every entrant to bring a canned food item for donation to the food bank.

“The idea is, bring the cars out, show them off, then go over and enjoy some barbecue and walk the park and see all the festivities that are going on,” he said. “Hopefully we’ll draw some people from the festival over to the parking lot to look at the cars so everybody benefits.”

“This event is something for car enthusiasts and their kids or grandkids,” said Jennifer Keller, Derby’s community market ing director. “These are like racing Pinewood Derby

cars, but bigger.”Wheat State Hobbies

in Derby has most of the parts needed for a valve car. A valve cover can be purchased at an auto salvage yard, Wilhite said.

At least 811 students in Derby schools this past year may have had problems or fears that their peers do not share.

Those 811 students may have said goodbye to their friends and family and moved suddenly to another town – and they may be on alert to make the move just as quickly again. They may have one or both parents deployed to a foreign country where the threat of war or terrorism is real and deadly.

Those 811 Derby s t u d e n t s a r e t h e dependents of parents who are members of the military.

Mil i tary dependents change schools as many as s ix to n ine t imes between kindergar ten and their senior year of high school, according to the McConnell Air Force Base Airman and Family Readiness Center. That means both the students and their parents have had to readjust their lifestyles in some way with each move.

All of the changes make the child unsure about the change to the new schools. Being in only about 1 percent of the U.S.

population, the children of uniformed Armed Services members may have times they feel alone with their fears.

Amy Jensen, school l iaison off icer for the A i r m a n a n d Fa m i l y Readiness Center, knows just how they feel. Her own son – Cole, an incoming third grade student at El Paso Elementary – moved three times in as many years in his young life and in the 4-1/2 years the family has been stationed at McConnell, his father has been deployed three times.

Amy serves 14 Wichita area school districts in her civilian job.

Her job is to serve as a link between local schools, the Air Force base, parents and the community, she said.

Entertainment schedule

demons t ra t i ons and contests depend on the weather, but “we had a pretty stout wind at the Kite Festival and Bill was still able to fly the candy bombing plane,” said Jenny Robinson, who co-owns Wheat State Hobbies with her husband, Bill.

Magician Shawn Reida, who performed –with the help of enthusiastic audience members – for packed crowds at the Derby Publ ic L ibrary this summer, will have performances at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.

His bag of tricks includes light bulbs, a magic wand, scarves, cards, and of course, a beautiful white rabb i t . He has been entertaining audiences

professionally for over 27 years and has been a student of magic and illusion for over 35 years.

Two clowns will be on hand to make one-of-a-kind balloon creations for children of all ages. Face painting will be available, at $7 per child.

“Balloon animals and face painting are always popular,” Keller said.

The Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts will both be at the Cox Kids’ Corner. The Girl Scouts will have a make-it-take-it project, and the Boy Scouts will lead outdoor activities for the kids.

Adding to the fun will be various school mascots, who will be available to take pictures with the kids.

C o x i s n o t o n l y sponsoring the event, they will have their Cox Mobile

Solutions Store on site, with a big screen on the side playing Disney Jr. shows, and with an arts and crafts activity for the kids.

“As a parent, I’m also excited that they will talk about Internet safety with parents, and teach parents how to set parental controls and keep their children safe online,” said Keller.

Keller said she is thrilled to be able to offer so many activities for children this year.

“There will be plenty of fun things to do,” she said. “I think it offers families another reason to come to the barbecue. Parents might have been excited to come before for the taste testing and fun, but this offers more for the kids to do while they’re here, too.”
