Up in Smoke on the Square will be held this year in conjunction with the Lincoln Art and Balloon Festival in historic downtown Lincoln, IL the last full weekend in August 2012. Our contest dates will be Friday August 24th and Saturday August 25th.
We’re planning on building on the success of last year’s event with a larger purse and a Friday night "Anything Goes" category to be judged by the local Police and Fire Departments giving the cooks an additional opportunity to win cash and prizes.
Make your plans early to attend…There is so much to see and do in Lincoln, IL that weekend.
