You know how I kinda brag on all the yummlies folks fix down here in my Lil Nashvegas? Well, this Saturday, I was asked to judge the Berrien County Grape Stomping Harvest Festival Cooking Contest! I know! I just died a little, cause judgin cookin contests is only second to judgin parades in the Beth Book of Awesomeness. I still think I could earn a livin workin the parade circuit in rural Georgia. Well put crepe paper on a trailer and drag that mess through town for ANYTHING. Anyway, local friends, if you wanna get in on this goodness, the info is copied below. This will be the only time Ill judge you. No, for reals. We dont hold with judgin round here. Well, unless were talkin pound cakes. A tasty, new addition has been added to this year’s Fifth Annual Berrien County Harvest Festival. Crissy Staley and Dawn Morrison organizers of the event say a Cooking Contest has been on their agenda for several years. This year the Bank of Alapaha generously volunteered to host the event.
