Ribs 'n Rods is our annual Car and Bike Show along with a BBQ Competition held here at Hastings Ford Lincoln. Each year we host this event to bring together great people, awesome cars, tasty BBQ, and (most importantly) to raise money for a local charity.
2021 will be our third annual Car Show raising money for a charity and also our first year with a BBQ contest. We've partnered with MidWest BBQ Association to help host and judge the BBQ competition.
This year all proceeds from the Car Show and BBQ sales will go to the Hastings Kiwanis Club to help kids in Adams County.

 About the BBQ Competition:
This year we partnered with MidWest BBQ Association (MWBA) to help host and judge the BBQ competition. The competition will consist of two meats: pork spare ribs and chicken. The BBQ entry fee is $75 per team. Teams can sign up below. The turn-in time for judging will be at 3:30pm for chicken and 4:00pm for ribs. Food will be served to the public from 4:30pm to 6:00pm. The public will be able to eat the tasty BBQ for $15 per person. Children (5 and under) can eat for only $5. There will be payouts for the top BBQ teams in both meat categories with a $1,500 in prize money guaranteed.
We strongly encourage anyone that is interested to sign up and participate. You do not have to be a professional pit master to enjoy entering our BBQ competition. The MWBA has a great group of teams that will be attending and are more than helpful to the new participant. The BBQ competition is a great place to meet fellow pit masters and you will make friends and learn new tips and tricks every year that you compete.
