Registration Open for Perkasie SpringFest
Ribs Grilling and Pie Baking Competitions

Two Perkasie Olde Towne SpringFest favorites are back! The Backyard Ribs and Pie Baking competitions return to the Saturday, May 19 event and participant registration is now open.

There’s room for 25 teams in the 2012 Backyard Ribs Cooking Competition and to inspire the camaraderie (or amp up the competition, depending on how you look at it) Springfest is offering a special pricing package for returning teams who recruit new teams. Registration is $40 if postmarked by May 4; $45 after May 4. If your team competed last year and you register a new team, the total is only $60 ($30/team)!

Teams will compete for bragging rights and cash prizes ranging from $50 to a first place prize of $400. Winners of the People’s Choice Award will walk away with a loaded gift basket. Special thanks to Hatfield Quality Meats for donating the ribs and First Savings Bank of Perkasie for the cash prizes.

Save room for dessert! Registration is also open for the Pie Baking Competition. There is no fee but participants must pre-register and you may enter more than once if you’d like to use different pie recipes. Each entry must consist of two pies – one for judging and one for sampling by the public - as well as the pie recipe on a 3”x5” card that only the judges will see. All pies must be made from scratch, have at least one crust and cannot include any pre-mixes, commercial mixes, canned filling or the like. Dessert pies only, please – no mincemeat or quiches. Cash prizes range from $50 to $200 courtesy of Touching Hearts at Home – In-Home Care for Independent Living. Funds raised from sale of the sample slices will benefit a culinary arts scholarship for a Pennridge student enrolled at the Bucks County Pennridge High School.

SpringFest promises a day fun for all – a 5K run in the morning followed by live music, the A&T Chevrolet-Subaru Big Wheel Rock & Roll, Backyard Ribs Cooking Competition, Pie Baking Competition, beer and wine tasting, demonstrations and displays from our local businesses, crafters, and rides and entertainment for the kids. The Perkasie Farmers Market will also return for 2012.

A&T-CHEVROLET-SUBARU BIG WHEEL ROCK & ROLL
RETURNS FOR SPRINGFEST 2012
Grab Your Helmet and Supe Up Your Big Wheel for May 19th!

Perkasie Olde Towne Springfest returns on Saturday, May 19, and the 2nd Annual A&T Chevrolet-Subaru Big Wheel Rock & Roll is already gearing up to be one of the highlights.

This year's A&T Chevrolet-Subaru Big Wheel Rock & Roll aims to inspire even more creativity from participants, bringing laughs and thrills. All ages are welcome to join the fun but this year there will be separate courses and heats for Youth (ages 6-12 and 13-17) and Adults (age 18+). Winners of the Youth races will receive gift certificates and prize packs. Adults will vie for the big prize - a trip for two to a Caribbean destination courtesy of PackNTravel (or $500 in cash).

Doc from 92.5 XTU's Doc & Andie morning show will be on hand to keep the heats moving along.

Also new for 2012 - the Big Wheel Bike Show! Racers will get the chance to show off their big wheel creations in a designated area from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. SpringFest attendees will vote and the crowd favorite will receive a free vehicle detailing from A&T Chevrolet-Subaru.

"Last year’s race was a huge success and since it was the first time we learned a lot," said Springfest co-organizer Katie Kollar. "Our goal this year is to ensure safety but to also encourage everyone to really go for it - wear a crazy costume, bring a really cool big wheel that'll look good in the Big Wheel Bike Show and win the race!"

In addition to competing on separate courses, each participant must wear a helmet, and the big wheel must use the plastic frame of a genuine big wheel. Chain pedal bikes will not be allowed.

Registration is $20/team and each category will be limited to the first 20 registered.
