Yoney Sweeps 4th Annual Galesburg Pork Butt Cook-Off

The Galesburg Park Committee hosted their fourth annual Pork Butt Cook Off and Supper Saturday. Committee Spokesperson and Galesburg Mayor, Casey Eggermont, says it was their best one yet.

Eggermont says this event is a huge help to keeping Galesburg on the map.

For the first time, the winner of the main contest also won the people’s choice award. This year’s double winner, Emily Yoney of Galesburg, talks about her passion for barbecue.

Yoney’s “pig wings” won the people’s choice award. Part of the proceeds from the cook-off will go towards a new pavilion at the park.
