LIVINGSTON,
Ala.--Cornbread chefs, get your iron skillets ready
and bring your winning recipes to the Sucarnochee
Folklife Festival Cornbread Cook-off on Saturday,
April 19 in downtown Livingston.
The fifth annual Cornbread Cook-off features three
competing categories: Best Traditional Cornbread,
Best Specialty Cornbread and Best Original Main Dish
Recipe using Cornbread. All recipes must be prepared
with at least one cup of corn meal or one package of
cornbread mix, with the entries judged on taste,
creativity and appetizing appearance. Entries, which
will be judged by a panel of cornbread experts, must
be turned in at 9:30 a.m. at the Bored Well adjacent
to the Sumter County Courthouse. Registration for
each category is $5, with the category winners each
receiving $25, the official festival T-shirt and
bragging rights.
The Sucarnochee Folklife Festival is a day of family
fun, with acclaimed musicians, artists and folk
craft demonstrators, storytellers, food vendors and
more situated around Courthouse Square. In addition
to the cook-off, the festival also features the
Sucarnochee 5K River Run and a walking ghost tour of
Livingston.
Each year, the cook-off showcases a variety of
cornbread recipes that tempt the judges’ palates,
including this specialty cornbread winning entry,
corn dog muffins. Whether you whip up traditional
buttermilk or spicy Mexican cornbread, you can be
sure that our judges are ready to dig in. For more
