Winners have been contacted and are announced in post below. 

I’m tickled to death to announce that I’ve been asked to be a judge again at this year’s National Cornbread Festival in South Pittsburg, Tennessee on April 27th and 28th! I had so much fun getting to taste all of the wonderful entries last year, made by amazing home cooks like yourself, and I can’t wait to see what y’all have in store at this year’s festival!

The cornbread festival is a full on family affair, with lots of vendors for crafts, food, antiques, and more! I love that, while it does take up a good bit of space, it isn’t spread out so far that you can’t easily walk it without getting wore out. To kick off this year’s event and to encourage y’all to get your cornbread thinking caps on, my friends at Martha White are offering a great giveaway just for Southern plate Readers!

This week, 4 winners will be chosen to win one of the following Prize Schedule:

• Wednesday : 1 Winner will get a 2 pack of tickets to the cornbread festival Congrats Nancy Hill!
• Thursday: 1 Winner will get a 2 pack of tickets to the cornbread festival Congrats DTerry (partial email dtcook)
  
• Friday: TWO Winners will be chosen to each win a big Martha White goodie basket AND a 2 pack of tickets to the cornbread festival! Congrats to Suzanne (partial email cheboygan), and Pat Acker! 

I’m really hoping some of you will enter the competition. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if a member of the Southern Plate family won it? I happen to know that y’all are a group of extremely talented cooks and I can’t imagine a dish tasting better than one made by one of you. For the official rules of the Cornbread Festival competition, click here. To go ahead and enter the National Cornbread Festival competition, click here. If you’d like to see last year’s winning recipes, click here. Thinking about entering but still not sure?

Disclaimer: The government wants me to tell y’all that I’m not being paid for this post, so y’all I’m not being paid for this post. Since our little ftc folks like disclaimers so much, I’m not gonna leave ’em wanting so here goes my great big list of things I’m disclaimin’: I can’t stand to wear shoes indoors (or socks), I only eat seafood when contractually obligated, I’m one of the few people I’ve ever known who has actually been contractually obligated to eat seafood, and no matter how good my imagination is – water tastes absolutely nothing like diet dr pepper.
