The Perfect Gift
Best BBQ Book that I’ve Read
I love the history it talks about and gives you names and authors of those to read more about. Plus all the different SC sauces to make and where they’re from. Buy it

The history of the Sassafras Festival in Burnettown, SC, is an interesting one.
Michelle Atkinson, Burnettown’s clerk and treasurer, said the Sassafras Festival began in 1994 as a simple street dance party. It was named after the trees of the same name growing along Horse Creek.
“We just love that everyone comes out and has a good time,” Atkinson said.
“We try not to overcharge for anything. There’s nothing down here that you can’t bring your family down and not spend a fortune and have a good time.”
The Sassafras Parade is always a feature of the event. In the past, the parade has included bagpipes, dancers, vintage vehicles, local pageant winners, and a host of Shriners.
The South Carolina Barbeque Association’s judges will score the submissions in the barbecue cook-off competition.
Judging will begin at 10 am. Winners will be announced at 12:30 pm.
Entries will be judged on appearance, aroma, taste, tenderness, and overall impression.
