For Contestants – How Sales & Sampling Work: We will be selling tasting tickets to attendees, which include sampling portions from our cook-off contestants. Ticket holders will use these to taste and vote. In addition to the tasting portion, you are welcome and encouraged to sell full-size sloppy joes directly to any event attendee, whether or not they have a tasting ticket. The festival is open to the public, and our entire downtown will be activated offering Wild West themed activities, specials, and experiences throughout the day. We anticipate strong foot traffic throughout downtown, giving you the opportunity to generate additional sales beyond the official tasting.

Your contestant fee helps supports Main Street Saint Joseph and the work we do to keep downtown vibrant. During checkout, Givebutter (our fundraising platform) may suggest an optional tip and processing fee to help keep the platform free for nonprofits. Both can be adjusted or set to $0 before completing your purchase.

Contest fees are nonrefundable. This event will be held as scheduled on the same day, rain or shine.
