The dust has settled, the votes have been counted, and the chuckwagons have rolled out!

A huge congratulations to our Wild West Sloppy Joe Fest champions!

🌟 Best Overall (Judges’ Choice): Moila Gold Wings
🏆 People’s Choice Award: YW West Riders

And a tip of the cowboy hat to our Sloppy Joe Eating Contest champions! These hungry outlaws proved they were the fastest hands at the chow table and rode away with bragging rights for another year! 🤠

While we have a few award winners, we truly believe everyone who cooked, competed, volunteered, sponsored, and came downtown to celebrate was a winner. Your support made the first-ever Wild West Sloppy Joe Fest one for the history books, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

Thank you for making Downtown St. Joseph the place to be. Until next time… keep your boots dusty, your napkins handy, and your eyes on the horizon. You never know what adventure is ridin’ into town next! ❤️
