This past Saturday, Freedom for Patriots and the Marinette Moose Lodge had our 6th Annual Brisket Cook-Off, and it was another great success!
We welcomed just under 300 guests, including 128 veterans, and had 20 talented teams competing for the title of best brisket.
Congratulations to our winners:
๐ฅ First Place: Jack & Jim Hendrick Jr. , representing Freedom for Patriots
๐ฅ Second Place: Jason Kinny and Travis Young, representing the Moose Lodge
๐ฅ Third Place: Don McDonald and Jerry Lewis, representing the Moose Lodge
A huge thank you to everyone who came out to join us, competed, volunteered, or helped make the event possible. We especially appreciate the Moose Lodge for providing all the delicious side dishes and our incredible Freedom for Patriots volunteers for all their hard work.
Most of all, we want to thank the 128 veterans who joined us. It was an honor to spend the day with you and celebrate your service and sacrifice.
Thank you to everyone who helped make our 6th Annual Brisket Cook-Off such a memorable day. Weโre already looking forward to next year!
