The inaugural Sutherlin Throwdown will be held on Saturday, July 15 through Sunday the 16th in Sutherlin Central Park, organizers said in a news release.

This event will feature a BBQ competition sanctioned by the Pacific Northwest BBQ Association with up to 40 teams competing for $10,000 in prize money.

The Cornhole Competition will happen concurrently, sponsored by Southern Oregon Cornhole, with a $5,000 purse.

The third component is a Brew Fest with regional craft breweries "offering the best of brews as a perfect pairing to the BBQ," organizers said.

The weekend festivities will culminate with a concert from country music artist Jesse Leigh.

Proceeds will benefit the 'Youth in Trades' scholarship program.
