CLIVE, Iowa – Iowa State and Iowa football fans who love tailgating with pork have a new chance to win great prizes from the Iowa Pork Producers Association.
IPPA is holding the Iowa Pork Playoffs promotion for all Iowa State and Iowa home football games and by entering their best pork recipe at iowapork.org, fans can win pork coupons, grilling gift baskets and more.
Depending on their favorite team, fans can enter either the Cyclone Pork Playoffs or the Hawkeye Pork Playoffs.
“Pork and football just seem to go together and a lot of fans regularly tailgate with pork, so we’re trying to create some added excitement to the football season and inspire fans to share their best pork recipes with us for a chance to win some nice prizes, including free pork,” said IPPA Promotions Committee Chairman Curtis Meier, a pork producer from Clarinda. “We take great pride in responsibly raising safe and affordable pork.”
Those entering a favorite pork recipe at iowapork.org are asked to describe their recipe and what inspired the dish and submit a photo of it for posting to the IPPA web site. Entries will be judged on the contestant’s ability to communicate their passion for their pork recipe. A winner will be selected from all entries prior to each ISU and Iowa home game throughout the season.
Weekly winners will be announced during each school’s pre-game radio show. ISU also will recognize each winner on the Jack Trice Stadium video board.
“We’re excited about this new promotion and hope a lot of Cyclone and Hawkeye fans will put their creative skills to work on some great pork recipes and enter at iowapork.org,” Meier said. “Pork is a very nutritious and versatile protein and is a great addition to any tailgate party.”
