There is always literature available with recipe ingredients and instructions. Visitors are encouraged to sample the dishes prepared.  Also, National Oyster Cook-off Contest Cookbooks will be on sale. The cookbooks contain a compilation of the best recipes submitted for the competition.  All cooking demonstrations will be held in Building 16 on the festival grounds.
