The Halifax County Virginia Heritage & Antique Machinery Festival was established in 2004 by a group of interested citizens to help  preserve the heritage of our county. At the present time this event is being held the 1st weekend in May of each year at the Halifax County Fairgrounds.  This year the festival will begin on Friday May 4th  and and run through May 6th, 2012. Plans are underway to have a permanent  home for the festival. Improvements have been made at the old Halifax County Fair Grounds with camping sites with hookups, additional  fencing installed, horse show ring, exhibit hall displays and tractor pull guard rails just to name a few. Contributions to the community through scholarships, equipment donation to the local school system and visits to the local nursing homes have been made over the past few years. Vendors are welcome by filling out application online or mailing one to the festival  contacts., but no food vendors will be allowed.

Deviled Egg Contest to be held at the Heritage Festival this Year

Sponsored by the Virginia Egg Council, this contest promises to be a very egg-citing  contest, because let’s face it – who doesn’t love Deviled Eggs?  Every southerner has the best recipe and they all want to crow about it.  Whether filled with the traditional egg yolk and mayo combo or something trendier, the sky’s the limit when it comes to presentation, flavor, ethnicity and even color.  The possibilities are endless so we’re expecting clever cooks from all around to come up with some really special creations to prove why these Tasty Little Devils are the most popular on a buffet table!

Interested contestants should contact Leah Brown at Halifax County Agricultural Center 434-476-3066 for details.
