PRELIMINARIES

The preliminary rounds of the Kwickest Kool-Aid Drinking Contest will be held at the Main Stage at the Adams County Fairgrounds on Saturday, August 20th. Registration begins at 12 pm and drinking begins at 1:00 pm. Contestants will be asked to form a line and will be called to the stage five at a time. In order to participate, you must complete a release form and fill out an entry form before you will be allowed to compete. Minors must have a parent or legal guardian sign the release and be present when the minor competes. Contestants are timed individually as they guzzle the required amount of Kool Aid for their age category and are not necessarily competing against each other.

You must finish the entire glass of Kool-Aid, spilling little to none  in order for your time to be recorded. The amount of Kool-Aid  spilled is decided by the judges or timers and their decisions  are final. The names of the five fastest participants in each age category will be announced at the end of the preliminaries and posted near the main stage by 4 pm or an hour after  the completion of the preliminaries, whichever is earlier.  FINALISTS WILL NOT BE CONTACTED INDIVIDUALLY. Finalists must be present at the main stage at 4 pm on Saturday in order to compete in the finals. All finalists will  receive a prize at the final competition.


FINALS 

The Kwickest Kool-Aid Drinking Contest Finals will be held on  the Mainstage at 4:45 pm on Saturday, August 18th.  Finalists must be present at that time in order to compete.The five preliminary winners in each age category will race against each other. The first to finish the entire cup of Kool-Aid for their age category, spilling little to none of the Kool-Aid, will win the grand prize in that category, with prizes  awarded to the second and third place winners, as well. The amount of Kool-Aid spilled will be determined by an event  official, whose decision is final. A contestant who is determined to have spilled 10% or more of the Kool-Aid in his/her cup will be disqualified from winning any additional  prizes.
