The National Lentil Festival

Each year, the cheerful citizens of Pullman, Washington merrily congregate to enjoy, celebrate, and revel in the gentle pleasures afforded us by the mighty lentil. The 2007 festival will take place August 17 in downtown Pullman, and August 18 in Reaney Park. There are many things to see and do at the National Lentil Festival, and all are welcome to attend. Live musical entertainment, a kids' carnival, free lentil chili on Friday night, contests, lentil cook off, vendors, a grand parade, and even a lentil pancake feed to help round out the offerings of this fantastic family event!
A major highlight of this award-winning festival is the Legendary Lentil Cook Off. In 2006, 88 lentil dish recipes were submitted from all around the nation to be considered for the grand prize of $1,000. There is a preliminary cook off event with volunteer judges who rate each recipe on a number of factors, and the top 6 recipes from this preliminary judging event are mass produced for 400 Saturday festival-goers to taste and judge for final placing. For more information on this and other aspects of the National Lentil Festival, be sure to check out www.lentilfest.com, the official website for the National Lentil Festival.
