Additional Information

The 10th Annual Wing Ding is coming up on Saturday, January 25th—presented by the Hannibal Jaycees and Miller Lite. The event will be held at the Admiral Coontz Armory in downtown Hannibal. Doors will open to the public at 11:00am. Wings will be served at 1:00pm and judging will take place at 4:00pm. Admission is $5.00.

First place will be awarded $1000; second place, $500; and third place, $250. This year’s theme is “Wing Dynasty,” after the popular television show. Teams are encouraged to show up in all their camouflaged and bearded glory, and to decorate their booths accordingly. The best-decorated booth will be awarded a cash prize of $100. Happy-happy-happy!

The Hannibal Jaycees will provide the chicken wings for all contestants. Commercial fryers and oil are available upon request for any teams that will be using non-battered wings. Teams can sauce, season, rub or BBQ their wings. Each team must have at least one member on-hand to assist with the cooking. Teams are allowed to bring their own grill, fryer or smoker if they notify the Jaycees in advance. All cooking will take place outside under the overpass.

The Wing Ding is a smoke-free, adults-only event; absolutely no one under age 21 will be admitted. There will be games and activities throughout the day and the Hannibal Jaycees will sell pretzels, water, soda and adult beverages. A portion of the proceeds from this year’s Wing Ding will go to a local charity. Cans recycled from the event will benefit the Great River Honor Flight, a program that provides no-cost flights to local military veterans to visit war memorials in Washington, DC.
