With upward of 10,000 attendees a year, the festival is an economic shot in the arm, too. This year, 13 teams competed for the $1,000 top prize. The cook-off rules stipulate that the meat must be of the sort that gets hit by cars and trucks, although judges prefer that it not come from the interstate.
“It’s a little unusual,” pageant director Shawn Smith admitted. “But around here they’re used to it.” (Her granddaughter Adelyn Warner was named Tiny Miss Roadkill. A conflict of interest? No, Shawn said. “I’m related to 90 percent of the people in town.")
