The Tourism Department of the Greene County Partnership announced plans today to host the Seventh Annual award-winning Aussie Fall Fest Chillin’ & Grillin’ on Saturday, October 30, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. in historic downtown Greeneville.
The event will include themed chili, barbecue & wings cook offs with cash prizes being awarded, craft and food vendors, local merchants and commercial vendors, entertainment and fun for all ages.
Several different categories will be included in the cook offs. The first category is the Kids’ Q. This event will feature children ages 15 and under that would like to grill chicken to win prizes. Leg quarters will be provided by Chuckwagon BBQ & Grill, and small grills will be provided by the MECO Store. Also, again this year, the event will feature the Backyard Cookers category. This category will feature participants that love to grill in their own backyards, at the lake, etc., but have never participated in a cook off before. This is a great way to show off their BBQ skills and get braggin’ rights to the best in town. The event will also feature the Old Smokers, participants that have entered before in any BBQ competitions previously.
New to this year will be the church category. Churches can participate in the chili category for FREE and be in the running for braggin’ rights to the best chili around. The committee encourages all churches to enter and join in the fellowship and fun that the event provides.
Participation in the cook offs is open to everyone, from scout troops to industries and from churches to clubs and organizations. All cook off participants, other than the churches and Kids’ Q, will be charged an entry fee of $125 per category. The cost for a 10’x10’ craft booth is $50, and for food vendors the cost is $125. The event will also feature the 2nd Annual Aussie Corn Hole Tournament sponsored by Farm Credit Services. The tournament will begin at 2 p.m. and will be located in the heart of the festival area. Entry fee is $20 per two-man team with a grand prize of $200 and a trophy. Second place will be awarded $100. The rules include a double elimination (best 2 out of 3 games). Players must sign up in advance.
Also in conjunction with the event will be the Keep Greene Beautiful 3 Mile Walk starting at 10 a.m. Registration is 9:30-10 a.m. The entry fee is $12 for those who sign up by October 15 and $15 for those who register after that date. Awards will be presented for three places in each category.
“This event has been successful in its first six years,” stated Tammy Kinser, Tourism director for the Partnership. “In 2009, the weather was a bit of a problem, but we still had good crowds and great competition. More than $3,000 was given out in cook off prizes. We are also looking forward to a large number of participants entering the new church category that has been created. Kids will love this and the backyard cookers can finally get recognition for their hidden talents.”
The event will last into the evening for spectators to enjoy Trey Hensley, a Jonesborough native, who, after picking up a guitar at the age of 10, quickly took the bluegrass world by storm. Trey performed on the Grand Ole Opry when he was 11. Hensley, now with his second CD entitled “It Is What It Is,” that was released on July 4th, is heading out to play his own brand of honky-tonk music.
Trey will light up the entertainment stage at 6 p.m.
The title sponsor for the event is MECO with Greeneville Light & Power being the t-shirt sponsor. Other sponsors include RoadShow Mobile Stages, The Greeneville Sun, Wendy’s, WGRV/WIKQ/WSMG, Animal Medical Center, LMR Plastics, McInturff, Milligan and Brooks, DTR Tennessee, C & C Millwright Maintenance, Consumer Credit Union, Holston U.M. Home for Children, Marsh Petroleum, Andrew Johnson Bank, Greeneville Federal Bank, GreenBank, Wal-Mart Distribution, East Tennessee Promotions, and John and Wanda Green.
