Plans underway for this year's Spring Chicken Festival in Gainesville

By Ken Stanford Contributing Editor

More than two dozen cook teams have registered for the 12th Annual Spring Chicken Festival Chicken Cook-Off in downtown Gainesville April 30.

In addition to the cook-off, the festival will also include a parade and art market.

The cook-off consists of two divisions: Professional and Backyard Bar-B-Q. Prizes will be awarded in both categories. The Grand Champion will receive $1,000 and get to keep the Chicken City Cup for one year.  

Cook-off rules and guidelines as well as the parade registration form are available at www.downtowngainesville.com.

Contact Regina Mansfield, 770-297-1141, [email protected], if you are interested in participating in the cook-off, parade or art market.
