Cornbread Festival

We kicked off the season of festivals this past weekend with the Cornbread Festival in South Pittsburgh, TN.

We arrived a little before lunch time and were hungry for cornbread. We strolled through the crafts and other vendors then hit Cornbread Alley. Here there were 8 different foods made out of cornbread. The food was only ok, not great. Since that didn't satisfy us we went for a bbq sammy. then headed to the Lodge factory outlet.

Sine we were there we had to tour the Lodge factory where they make all the cast iron cookware. It was a let down too. Of course the plant wasn't operating because it was Saturday but there just wasn't much to it.

We had a good time but were a little let down. We were there for only a short time, 3 hours tops. Our expectation was to be sick of cornbread by the time we left. We only tasted the little sample plate in Cornbread Alley. They didn't have cornbread for sale, only one vendor was actually giving samples of cornbread, and this was a CORNBREAD festival!


I think this one could be planned a little better. I mean the biggest and I would think easiest thing would be to have some cornbread there. Gee, is that too much to ask!?!?

So by this post you can pretty much get my feelings for this festival. I give it two stars.
