Do you love barbecue? Have
you tried it deep-fried? Attendees to this year's Exit 56 Blues Fest will get
an opportunity to try the bite-sized, deep-fried barbecue nuggets and even
compete to see who can eat the most. The Deep-Fried BBQ Eating Championship
will take place at 4 p.m., Saturday, May 25, at the West Tennessee Delta
Heritage Center in Brownsville.
Contestants
must be at least 18 years of age and will have 10 minutes to eat as many deep-fried
barbecue bites as possible. Water and sauce will be plentiful to help wash it
down. There is a $5 entry fee and the lucky winner will receive a trophy,
t-shirt and prize package. Interested parties are asked to pre-register for the
competition by May 23. Complete rules and registration can be found at
www.westtnheritage.com/exit56.
Along
with great barbecue, festival attendees can spend the afternoon and evening
listening to the Blues. Concerts will be performed from the porch of the Sleepy
John Estes home and features performers such as Sean "Bad" Apple,
Bluesberry Jam Band, Little Boys Blue and headliner TeeDee Young.
Car
enthusiasts can cruise-in from 1-3 p.m., to compete for titles such as
"Cool Chrome" "Most Likely to Get a Ticket" and 12 other
fun titles. There is no entry fee and motorcycles are welcome, too.
Arts
and crafts vendors will also be on site throughout the afternoon for those
wanting to add a little shopping to the Blues mix. Jewelry, woodwork and
paintings are just a few of the items you'll find.
Admission
to the festival is free and open to the public. A complete schedule is
available online, or by calling the Delta Heritage Center at 731-779-9000.
