Pasadena, TX--Firefighters from the Houston-area are holding a weekend long benefit at the Pasadena Convention Center and Fairgrounds, 7902 Fairmont Parkway, on June 18 and June 19. The event raises money for firehelpingfire.org, a non-profit that helps firefighters in crisis.

Over the two-day event there will be vendors, live music, and a washer pitch tournament. And since it is Texas, there will also be cookoffs and drink contests.

There will be margarita and bloody mary contests as well as chili and meat cookoffs. Competitors will be eligible for cash prizes totalling $11,000 in the meat categories.

Admission is $10 at the gate for a weekend pass, with kids under three-years-old getting in for free. Teams that want to compete in the washer tournament will need to pony up $50 and teams that want to compete in the barbecue cookoff will need to reach deep and produce $260.
