Went to this event last year for the first time and we had a great time. So wanted to let other forum members of the date of the event this year.  The way it works is as follows:

- $40.00 per couple or per person, if you do not have a significant other and purchase ticket prior to event. At door ticket is $50.00
- I would say there had to be approximately 20 or so competitors serving samples of the food entries for FREE.
- Beer was free, not sure about mixed drinks. But the group I was with brought their own liquor.
- 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards for top competitors in each category, such as Chili, Wild Game, Venison, etc. Cannot remember all the categories.
- Silent auction including some very nicely framed and matted outdoor pictures and AU and UA pictures, rods and reels, fishing tackle, hunting accessories, cabin / lakehouse nick nacks, etc.
- Live band
- Door prizes at the end, and then a live auction for very nice hunting and fishing trips, rods and reels, guns, etc.
- All the above goes to fund the Alabama Wildlife Federation and your ticket is good for a years subscription to their membership.

Lets just say after last years event, our group will be regular attendees as we and everyone we were with had a great time. Began at 6:00 and over by 11:00 or so.

Anyways see the URL below for a link to the event flyer as this is all I could find for the Alex City event. Also think Ulysses, Lil Talisi, Mack and all those other Egg Heads should sign up and compete for top honors.
