What would a Cracklin Festival be without a Cracklin Cookoff?
Every year one of the highlights of our festival is the Cracklin Cookoff. Amateur and professional cracklin cookers square off in separate categories for bragging rights and big trophies! We go to great lengths to ensure a fair and impartial contest because the competition is fierce! The Lions Club usually gathers cracklin samples right after lunchtime on Sunday. We then anonymize the samples so our judges can give us impartial scores in areas such as crispness, seasoning, meat content, etc.
In addition to cracklin cooking ability, we also have awards for our contestants who go out of their way to decorate their cooking booths.
After all of the scores have been counted, we announce our winners around 3:00pm on Sunday.
Join in the Fun!
