4th Annual Great Grits Cook-Off and Festival

From 4th Annual Great Grits Cook-Off and Festival Website:

he fourth Annual Great Grits Cook-Off and Festival is coming to Prattville Saturday, October 15 from 9 am 2 pm to benefit the Prattville YMCA Coach a Child Scholarship Fund. The day will include live music, bounce houses, bungee jumping, arts and crafts vendors and a whole lot of grits. For the third year, the day will kick off with the Nitty Gritty 5K Race and Fun Run.

The Great Grits Cook-Off and Festival was the idea of Hootie and Bob Gipson, second generation owners of Gipsons Tires, a tire and automotive service business, with three locations in Prattville, Millbrook and Montgomery. We are excited to continue our relationship with the YMCA and Coach a Child Campaign. As the founders of this event we cant be more excited about this year. More cook teams and vendors than last year should make this an event to remember says Hootie Gipson.

The Great Grits Cook-Off and Festival will include a cooking competition of businesses, churches, restaurants and individuals for the best grits recipe. The cooking competition will be judged on taste, presentation and originality. In addition, a Peoples Choice Award will be presented to the team that receives the most votes (dollar bills) by those attending. Prizes will be awarded in each category.

The cookoff & festival will include the Nitty Gritty 5K and Fun Run. The race will begin at 8:00 AM and feature awards for all ages. The completion of the race will coincide with the opening of the grits festival. You can register for the race at www.********.***.
