The Zalud House Museum Pioneer Days & Rib Cook-Off began in 2012 as a fundraiser for the Zalud House Museum. In a partnership with the Jackass Mail Run Committee, Downtown Porterville is transformed into a vision of the old west, complete with a live shoot out in the street. Historical and educational displays and re-enactments are just a few of the attractions that are featured at the event every year. The anticipation of the Rib Cook-Off is probably the biggest draw to the crowd. Any and all backyard BBQ enthusiasts are welcomed to compete in the rib cook-off and vie for cash prizes, the People's Choice Award and the Best Decorated Booth Trophy. The public can buy tickets to sample the rib
