The Elmhurst Walk-In Assistance Network’s ‘Cue for a Cause is back! After a pandemic hiatus, the Elmhurst community will gather once again for some end-of-summer fun.
The ‘Cue will take place on Sunday, Sept. 5 from 12 noon-7 p.m. at the city lot at York and Vallette, behind the Knights of Columbus. Entry is free.
The event centers around an amateur barbecue competition. Teams will be competing to prove their ribs, chicken, and sauce are the best, as determined by a panel of judges. The team with the highest combined score in all three categories will be named the 2021 Grand Champion.
A new addition this year is a baked goods competition, as bakers compete for the best pie or cookies.
Barbeque Jim’s will be back serving up its award-winning barbecue. Beer and wine will also be on sale, along with root beer floats and Italian ice.
Enjoy live music, while children stay busy in the kids’ play area which will feature a balloon twister, magician, giant slide and other games.
All proceeds will be used by the Walk-In Assistance Network (EWAN) to serve Elmhurst families and individuals in need. Since 1997 EWAN has worked to see people through tough circumstances by providing financial assistance, but no time has presented as much need as this past 18 months.
