The traditional \u201clighting of the eggs\u201d will take place at about 9:00 a.m. \u2014 signaling the time when the event opens to the general public. It is held in the municipal parking lot at the corner of Depot and Monroe Streets behind Sander\u2019s Park. \u201cWe have cooks and celebrities coming from seven or eight states again this year,\u201d said Tim Barnes, President of Hometown Bank and one of the founders and main organizers of the event. \u201cIt\u2019s turned into a really great community event. There\u2019s so much that goes into it. The cooks that we have who come here really love the hospitality. That\u2019s why so many of them are coming back.\u201d Barnes said about 30 cooks will be on hand again this year. \u201cFatman\u201d Kevin Jenkins of the popular national radio show \u201cChef and the Fatman\u201d will be taping a broadcast from Moonbow Eggfest. Barnes said the show airs on Sundays and is available to millions of listeners on Sirius\/XM satellite radio and can be streamed online at www.chefandthefatman.com. Last year, Jenkins was honored as a Corbin Colonel. Also scheduled to attend the Moonbow Eggfest this year is celebrity chef Francine Bryson, author of \u201cBlue Ribbon Baking from a Redneck Kitchen.\u201d Bryson is a native of South Carolina and has won over 250 cooking contests. More information about her can be found online at www.thefrancinebryson.com. She also plans to offer a couple of cooking classes at the event. \u201cShe has a huge following and I\u2019m hoping she brings even more people from out of town to our Eggfest,\u201d Barnes said. BBQ champion Jeff Raymond will also return to this year\u2019s Eggfest to teach \u201cBig Green Egg 101\u201d classes. The Southern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce will also offer beer and wine at the event. Admission to Moonbow Eggfest is $15 for adults and $10 for kids. For $25, those who go can also get a special event t-shirt. Admission entitles anyone to sample food cooked on the eggs for the duration of the event. It lasts until 3:00 p.m. Barnes said all the participants in the event will be cooking different items (i.e. chicken wings, bar-b-que pork and beef, brisket, steaks, sliders, etc.) and those who attend can buy a ticket that will entitle them to a small tasting of everything being prepared. \u201cThe first time people hear about this they always wonder about the value of paying $15 just to get a small taste of some food, but anyone who has been to an Eggfest know more than likely you will be stuffed before you leave,\u201d Barnes said. \u201cAlso, it\u2019s not like McDonalds. It\u2019s a social event. You walk around and mingle. It\u2019s kind of like a reunion.\u201d The Big Green Egg is an egg-shaped dome cooker that uses natural wood or charcoal as fuel. Its design allows it to be used for a variety of different cooking styles from grilling and smoking to baking and more. A raffle for a Big Green Egg will be held at Eggfest. The cookers will also be on sale for anyone who wants to purchase one. Proceeds from the Moonbow Eggfest go to support the Tri-County Sports Authority and the Corbin High School baseball program.
