 About the GCFRThe fair began in 1938 and was held at facilities in Runge Park located in Arcadia, Texas. In the early 1980s, the County Fair had reached its limits of growth at Runge Park and plans began for a move to Jack Brooks Park located in Hitchcock, Texas. The move to Jack Brooks Park was completed in time for the 1984 Fair, and this is where the fairgrounds are currently located. The youth and the animal projects they exhibited are the foundation the Fair was built upon. This tradition continues today. Many families look forward to the annual Fair & Rodeo. Volunteer committees work for several months planning different events and activities for everyone to enjoy during the fair as well as events that are held at other times throughout the year. The GCFR also hosts "special" days for the community -Special Kids' Day, Schools' Day, and Senior Citizens' Day. And we are very proud to award several thousand dollars in Scholarships each year to deserving high school seniors from Galveston County. We would like to thank all of the sponsors, buyers, volunteers and staff members who make it all possible. The Galveston County Fair & Rodeo, Inc. is a registered 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization whose purpose is to serve the youth of Galveston County by promoting youth, education, and agriculture by supporting 4-H and FFA programs. The Galveston County Fair & Rodeo does not receive government funding from cities, county, state or federal agencies. Your support is greatly appreciated and we look forward to seeing you at the fair. 2019 Cook-Off Dates Seafood Cook-Off March 29-30, 2019 BBQ Cook-Off April 4, 5 & 6 2019 DOWNLOAD... 2019 GCFR COOK-OFF RULES 2019 Seafood Cook-Off Rules 2019 Barbecue Cook-Off Rules 2019 Chicken Wing Rules 2018 BBQ COOK-OFF RESULTS SPLIT-THE-POT CHICKEN WINGS 1ST PLACE COLD STEEL COOKERS 2ND PLACE SHIPWRECKED COOKERS 3RD PLACE LI’L’ TASTE OF TEXAS 4TH PLACE 200 DEGREES SLOW –N- LOW 5TH PLACE EAT MY MEAT COOKERS PULLED PORK 1ST PLACE R & R COOKERS I 10 POINTS 2ND PLACE ACE IN THE HOLE COOKERS I 9 POINTS 3RD PLACE SHAKE N BAKE I 8 POINTS 4TH PLACE LOS PRIMOS I 7 POINTS 5TH PLACE HIGH PRESSURE COOKERS I 6 POINTS 6TH PLACE R & R COOKERS II 5 POINTS 7TH PLACE LEAVE’EM SMOKIN I 4 POINTS 8TH PLACE BASTIN AND TASTIN I 3 POINTS 9TH PLACE BUD CREW COOKERS I 2 POINTS 10TH PLACE SHIPWRECKED COOKERS I 1 POINT BBQ CHICKEN 1ST PLACE G-TOWN COOKERS I 20 POINTS 2ND PLACE DUNN HEAT COOKERS I 18 POINTS 3RD PLACE DUNN HEAT COOKERS II 16 POINTS 4TH PLACE PALM LEAF COOKERS I 14 POINTS 5TH PLACE DOUBLE M COOKERS I 12 POINTS 6TH PLACE G-TOWN COOKERS II 10 POINTS 7TH PLACE REEL EM IN COOKERS I 8 POINTS 8TH PLACE THE T-N-T OUTLAWS I 6 POINTS 9TH PLACE CORNFED COOKERS I 4 POINTS 10TH PLACE HIGH PRESSURE COOKERS I 2 POINTS PORK RIBS 1ST PLACE XXTREME HEAT I 30 POINTS 2ND PLACE THAT’S MY TICKET I 27 POINTS 3RD PLACE TEXAS PIT STOP BBQ I 24 POINTS 4TH PLACE LONE STAR COOKERS I 21 POINTS 5TH PLACE G-TOWN COOKERS I 18 POINTS 6TH PLACE BONESIDE DOWN I 15 POINTS 7TH PLACE LI’L’ TASTE OF TEXAS I 12 POINTS 8TH PLACE LAST MINUTE COOKERS I 9 POINTS 9TH PLACE LEAVE’EM SMOKIN II 6 POINTS 10TH PLACE HIGH PRESSURE COOKERS I 3 POINTS BRISKET 1ST PLACE SHAKE N BAKE I 40 POINTS 2ND PLACE XXTREME HEAT I 36 POINTS 3RD PLACE DUNN HEAT COOKERS III 32 POINTS 4TH PLACE DUNN HEAT COOKERS II 28 POINTS 5TH PLACE TRIPLE EAGLE & CO II 24 POINTS 6TH PLACE BEST IN THE WEST COOKERS I 20 POINTS 7TH PLACE DUNN HEAT COOKERS I 16 POINTS 8TH PLACE BONESIDE DOWN I 12 POINTS 9TH PLACE HIGH PRESSURE COOKERS I 8 POINTS 10TH PLACE TEXAS GASOLINE ALLEY COOKERS I 4 POINTS OVERALL WINNER XXTREME HEAT I 66 TOTAL POINTS
