Cenex celebrates our local roots with Hometown Throwdown, a social media contest driven by consumer participation. This event celebrates the unique local festivals that form the heart of each community. The winner of the $100,000 grand prize is determined by public votes. The festival winner and the three festival finalists have been revealed on our social platforms and the Hometown Throwdown website.
