“With the end of the pandemic, it’s great that we will be able to bring back the foundation’s annual rib cook-off,” said Marco Police Foundation President Michael Hook. “This is sure to be a great day with proceeds going towards the continuing education of our community’s police officers and their families.”

“A special thanks to the businesses and organizations sponsoring the rib cook-off for stepping up to support the people who keep us safe every day,” added Hook.
