RC And Moon Pie

The Tennessean did a piece on quirky Tennessee-area food festivals — they included

Ramp Tramp Festival in Reliance

National Cornbread Festival in South Pittsburg

World’s Biggest Fish Fry in Paris

Newport Ramp Festival in Newport

International Biscuit Festival in Knoxville

Middle Tennessee Strawberry Festival in Portland

Slugburger Festival in Corinth (MS)

162nd St. Patrick Irish Picnic & Homecoming in McKewen

Grainger County Tomato Festival in Rutledge

Bradford Doodle Soup Days in Bradford

Anderson County Burgoo Festival in Lawrenceburg (KY)

National Banana Pudding Festival in Centerville

And in Nashville, the Annual Music City Hot Chicken Festival, Tomato Art Festival, and the Music City Food + Wine Festival.

The next RC and Moon Pie Festival is June 18 in Bell Buckle, Tennessee.  We haven’t been since 2008, when Shug was a baby.

We put an RC and Moon Pie on Shug’s stroller just for a quick pic (if you’re wondering: no way would I let my baby have a soft drink — he’s 8 now and still has never had any):

…but got such a kick that Moon Pie tweeted this with his picture last year!

A Louisiana city councilman has been arrested for allegedly stealing a banana moon pie (when approached about it, he flashed his badge and threatened the store owner). The public responded by showing up to council meetings and bringing moon pies with them.
