Cookers will present their wings at The Sauce Showdown in the Wing Ring Stadium to be judged in categories like "Best Unique Flavor Wings," "Celebrity Choice," "Best Sweet Wing," and the ever-popular "People's Choice" with awards presented on Saturday night.

Unique flavors from previous wing fests include strawberry cheesecake, salted caramel, spicy buffalo garlic, maple bacon bourbon, dragon sriracha, habanero, and lemon parmesan. Additionally, vendors will offer a delicious side that will pair perfectly with their signature wings.
