Tacos, Wrestling & Fall Fun! Taco Throwdown Returns to Rock Falls | Along the Rock

🌮 Tacos, Wrestling & Fall Fun Are Taking Over Rock Falls! 🤼

On this episode of Along the Rock, host Kierstyn Long sits down with Melinda Jones from Rock Falls Tourism and Ryan Zschiesche from ZOWA Live to preview the return of the Taco Throwdown at RB&W Park.

The third annual event is bringing together 10 taco trucks, a taco-eating contest, live wrestling, music, and plenty of community fun along the Rock River.

🌮 Taco Throwdown
📅 Friday, Sept. 25
📍 RB&W Park, Rock Falls
⏰ 4-10 p.m.

Find out how the best taco competition works, how to enter the taco-eating contest, and what to expect from ZOWA Live's action-packed wrestling lineup.

🏆 The taco-eating contest gives competitors 10 minutes to eat as many tacos as possible, with last year's winner finishing 16 tacos and taking home $100 and a trophy.

🤼 ZOWA Live will feature approximately seven bouts, including a championship tournament semifinal, with the wrestling action split around the taco-eating contest.

The episode also looks ahead to more fall activities in Rock Falls, including the lumberjack show, women's skillet throwing contest, and Halloween Lighted Golf Cart and UTV Parade.
