We had a beautiful June day for our 2024 Great Grill Off. We had perfect weather to welcome 12 community grill teams and over 1,400 guests to the Wooster campus of Christian Children’s Home of Ohio for the big event.
The campus was filled with smiles as family and friends enjoyed inflatables, carnival games, train rides, tractor rides, and more. The energy was high, and everyone was enjoying an afternoon of great food and family fun!
At the conclusion of the event, the votes were tallied, and Lyfe Choices (two-time defending champion) was crowned the 2024 Burger Champion with their “Taco Smash Burger”. The Caring Closet took second place with their “Brunch Burger” and third place went to Beef ‘O’ Brady’s for their “Taco Tuesday Burger”. It was a very close competition this year. Congratulations and thank you to all our grill teams for their hard work and dedication.
As you can imagine, it takes a large team to bring this event together. Our day was a huge success due to the support of our generous sponsors and dedicated volunteers who helped us throughout the weekend. Special thanks to our event sponsors Powers Oil & Propane, Church of the Lakes, Coblentz Bros., Inc, Lehman’s, Ackerman Auto and Tire, Mennonite Mutual Insurance, The Commercial & Savings Bank, J&J Auto Wrecking, Kitty Poo Club, and Fredericksburg Church of Christ; Western Reserve Group, and Whitaker Myers Wealth Management in Mansfield, OH for providing volunteers before the event; Mohican Church for providing tents; Village Catering for providing pasta salad; Frito-Lay for providing chips; SmithFoods for providing ice cream; Buehler’s; RiseFM; Meijer; Wayne County Sheriff’s Office; Central Fire/EMS Department; and to our numerous day-before and day-of volunteers and all our community grill teams!
