I can't believe I missed this again! Been wanting to go to this event in Sopchoppy, Florida for years now and for some reason I just keep on missing that date of the event.
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............
Dang it! Missed it again! Worm Grunting Festival
