Mark your calenders:
International Horseradish Festival
June 4-5, 2011
Woodland Park, Collinsville, Illinois
This year, contestants will face off at a root toss (166 feet is a festival record), a root sacking contest (last year's winning couple dumped 51 pounds of horseradish into a sack in 30 seconds) and a root recipe showdown (strip steak with horseradish and honeydew won last year), as well as at a root golf tournament, a root relay race and a Little Miss Horseradish Pageant.
