Beef-a-Rama is an event that brings tourists to the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Minocqua has a year-round population of 3,200 people and this event draws over 12,000 people. In the morning there is a 5K Rump Roast Run. The merchants and private citizens roast a rump roast on the main street in the parking stalls. The roasts are judged for Best Chef, Best Appearance, Best Taste, and Spirit Award. Mr. Whittle's daughter worked at Camp Agawak. Camp Agawak has entered in the competition for the last three years. The chef, Ducky, won Best Chef, Best Taste and won Best Appearance this year. People dress up in costumes and they close the main street, Highway 51, for the parade. The parade goes to Torpy Park, where over 3,000 sandwiches are served. The awards are given out in the park. Notice Mr. Whittle on the sidewalk wearing a cow hat. Mr. Whittle's daughter and two other Australian counselors were dressed as Ducky's chicks. Congratulations to Ducky and Camp Agawak!
