This is the 5th annual Butterbean
Festival
.
Festival Director Phil Sims credited Barry
Bradford of Bradford & Hines Custom Metal Fabrication, who
doubled the size of the original pot his company had made
in less than a month after they found out a
church in the former Yugoslavia
had broken the former
world record of 400 gallons by building a pot holding 832
gallons of baked beans.
The pot constructed by several
local businesses over the past couple weeks held 1,010 gallons
of butterbeans and were sold to festival visitors after the
world record was confirmed by Guinness World Records representative
Morgan Wilber.
The pot was the centerpiece and crown
jewel of this year's festival. Hundreds of people put tailgating
on pause to see exotic animals, play games and of course,
snack on butter beans.
The previous
Guinness World Record
for the Largest
pot of baked beans
was held by Sarcievo, Macedonia,
with a 832.14 US gallons (3,150 litres) of baked beans.
