Challenge Butter, an award-winning leading butter brand, is spreading fun and flavor at Naperville’s Ribfest with the Challenge Butter Corn-off-the-Cob Eating Contest. This family-friendly competition provides entertainment for participants and observers alike. Attendees can enjoy Challenge Butter when purchasing Caney Creek Corn. They can also stop by the Challenge tent to spin a wheel to win coupons and other prizes.
A Corn-off-the-Cobb competition will take place daily from 4:30 – 5PM on the South Stage. Entrants will compete to be the first to get all of the kernels off a corn cob slathered in Challenge Butter. Each day, the winner will be crowned the “Challenge Butter Chief Cob Cleaner” and receives a free rib dinner.
CORN-OFF-THE-COB OFFICIAL RULES
- Every contestant is required to keep their hands behind his or her back as each one is given a paper plate with the same size ear of corn.
- On “Go”, contestants can pick up the ear with their hands and eat the all the kernels off as fast as they can in an attempt to “clean the cob.”
- When a contestant thinks his/her cob is “clean,” he/she will put their corn down and throw their hands up high. The other players must stop while the cob is checked.
- If clean, a winner is declared.
- If not, they get back to work cleaning their cobs until another individual raises his/her hand or until a winner is declared.
Though some may play primarily for bragging rights, a prize and title will be rewarded. And remember, clean chins don’t determine the winners; just clean corn cobs.
If attendees aren’t competing, they can still get their own corn on the cob slathered in hot melted Challenge Butter at the Caney Creek Roasted Corn booth.
