In years past, the Food Network, the Travel Channel and the Discovery Channel have all covered this fun festival. If you've ever wanted to taste exotic dishes like squirrel gravy over biscuits, teriyaki-marinated bear or deer sausage, this is the place to be. Cookin' starts at 9 AM ... judging starts at 2 PM ... and you can taste the grub whenever your stomach's ready!
