Carolina Pride is the Presenting Sponsor
of the South Carolina Festival of Discovery
Over 80 barbeque teams are expected to converge on beautiful Uptown Greenwood for the 11th Annual South Carolina Festival of Discovery. In 2010 (see 2010 results), teams from Oklahoma, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and South Carolina filled Uptown with the incredible smell of barbeque. The Festival has been proclaimed an Official South Carolina State Championship by Governor Mark Sanford. The Festival is sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) and includes four required categories: pork shoulder, pork ribs, beef brisket and chicken. The professional competition will follow the 2009 KCBS rules and regulations.
The Festival also features an amateur/backyard contest and celebrates the rich history of hash in Greenwood County by sponsoring a hash cookoff. Additionally, the Festival features a 'Taster's Choice' competition where the general public critiques participating barbeque team samples that can be purchased for $1.
