Hard to conjure up Foghorn Leghorn here in text at 9 a.m., this is one of our very distinctive events and food traditions here in Shelby. Livermush. Come to town on October 23rd, at historic Court Square, and either sample a southern foodway that you've never heard of, or rekindle old memories if it is something you grew up with.
Livermush has been written about in Our State, Southern Living, and The Charlotte Observer. Heck, there have even been classic odes and haiku poetry written about livermush. It's been the subject of Andrew Zimmern's Bizzarre Food's series in an episode examinging the traditional foods of the Southern Appalachians.
There's plenty of festivities and music as well. Check out the Art of Sound Festival staged around Uptown Shelby by the Cleveland County Arts Festival October 21-23. Check www.ccartscouncil.org/artofsound for a full lineup and schedule of performances.
