The Worm Grunting Festival is one of the biggest events in this area, and certainly the largest in Sopchoppy. Actually, I think it is the ONLY event in Sopchoppy, but that's besides the point....

I guess it is just a morbid curiosity to see people actually purposely trying to coax earthworms out of the ground, but I understand that at one time it used to be a major industry, for Sopchoppy anyway..... Not sure what to expect at an event like this, but I SERIOUSLY doubt I would want to eat anything that was offered there that wasn't THOROUGHLY inspected. I guess the idea of a worm burger just gives my stomach butterflies.

Oh well, I guess maybe next year I will remember.

Oh yeah I need to find the date and mark it on my calendar for the Crawfordville Swine Festival as well............

Admission to the event was free! How could you miss it?
