Festivals in the Southeast from July-September

Chicken sizzles in the 'world's largest skillet' at the World Chicken Festival in London, Ky. The town honors the bird because Col Sanders' first and original restaurant was established in Laurel Co. in the 1940's. The skillet can fry 882 chicken quarters at a time. This year's event is Sept. 25-28. 800-348-0095, www.chickenfestival.com. File
