Winning People's Choice were locals Brock Theis, Jacob Lommen and Josh Ziebart. It was no surprise they sold out early, considering the feast they put in front of the crowd. The trio not only smoked up three flavors of ribs but also served chicken drumsticks, potato salad and more. Also pictured is Ziebart's daughter, Braylon.

Local smokemasters sparred Saturday, Aug. 10 in the inaugural Eagles Rib Cookoff, hosted by the New Rockford Eagles Club. Seven varieties of ribs were up for tasting, as well as sides and sandwiches served. Yard games provided by the New Rockford Area Chamber of Commerce added a little fun to the family-friendly outing.
