Photo Contest

Have you got a show stopping image that you could enter in the Photography Contest?  The contest is a way to show ‘that second’ in time – a time that cannot be captured again.  Photos will be accepted for entry until Wednesday, April 10.  Top photos will be hung at the Courthouse Annex at Broadway and Courthouse, Irvine during the festival.  See the flyer for more information.  

Mushroom Hunt

Mushroom Hunting Contest

 The Mushroom Hunting Contest gives individuals a chance to put their hunting skills to the test to find the most and largest.  Hunters go out individually, often to their secret hiding spots, to find the elusive morels.  When the morels are brought to the Mushroom Market Tent they are weighed and measured by length and gird.  The weights and measurements are recorded and compared to award the hunter who brings in the largest and the hunter who has found the most mushrooms.


 Judging of the contest will be at the market on Saturday, April 29 at 4 p.m.  A prize of $50 for the largest and $50 for the most mushrooms will be awarded by the Estill County Soil Conservation District.
