The event is a buffet of animal dishes, not typically served at the family bar-b-que, such as kangaroo sliders, pheasant, and sloppy joe deer. Hunting enthusiasts cook their tastiest dishes and compete for awards. The event is held yearly and plans for next year's Beast feast have already been set in motion. Those interested in joining or attending the Beast feast can contact Rachel Slonaker at rachel@crossroadsofjeffersonhills.com. The award winners for this year's Beast Feast were:

Place of Furthest Kill: Larry Johnson
Whale's Tale Award: Mike Giampaolo
The People's Choice Award was given to Larry Johnson for his Swiss Steak Deer.
The Interchange Lounge in Jefferson Hills donated a gift card, which was won by Karen Slonaker, for her Berry Crisp dessert. There were raffles for prizes, such as a nerf gun, dart board, cooler and a fishing pole. The money from the ticket sales was donated to the West Elizabeth Food Bank. They collected $191 and a generous donor, (John Serpa), in attendance donated $9 to make it an even $200!
