The Yazoo County Convention and Visitors Bureau will host the first annual Fire & Feast BBQ Festival at the Yazoo County Fairgrounds on Sept. 9.
The event is a Memphis Barbeque Network event and will feature three BBQ competitions: a Memphis Barbecue Network (MBN) sanctioned Pro competition, a Backyard Division, and most significantly, a Fire House Division.
This event will allow professional and amateur cook teams the opportunity to compete in three different categories for $19,000 in cash prizes. Additional prizes are also awarded in each division.
A portion of the proceeds from the event will go to the Mississippi Firefighters Memorial Burn Association. -------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
