“The Country Roads Cook-Off” is a
unique opportunity to put the spotlight on local foods and recipes grown
right here in North Central West Virginia. Our food is a unique asset that
we need to celebrate, share and market.
Come see multiple cooking teams participate in a cooking competition that
features foods and recipes of the 19th century that reflect life
in north central West(ern) Virginia of that time.
There cooking teams compete for a first prize award of $100,
selected by our
panel of judges, and an equal
amount for the People’s Choice Award. Some teams may cook on a
hearth while others will use an open cooking venue.
General admission is $10. Children 10 & under
admitted free with
paying adult.
The 2015 event
