Like Baked Butter Beans then Alabama is the way


If you are contemplating   to escape from the busy life  in search of relaxation and  fun  then coming down to Alabama  would put an end to all your woes. Alabama may not have an Eiffel Tower or Statue of Liberty, or even a really awesome-but-pointless stainless steel arch, but the state does boast a number of formidable and equally pointless roadside attractions. It would be a dream come true to watch Alabama’s premiere  festivals.  The main attraction is the Alabama Butter beans Festival  which is celebrated in Pinson  nestled in the heart of Alabama. The Alabama Butterbean Festival has activities to offer people of all age groups ranging from kids to grandparents.
The 5th Butter bean Festival proved out to be a crowd puller as it turned out to be a wporld record attempt. In a way the festival finds its way in the hall of fame. It boasted of 1010 gallons  of butter beans  in a  4ft tall, 7 ft wide  metal pot. The pot was constructed by local area businesses. The pot weighed a staggering 1010 gallons.
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 former Yugoslavia had broken a former world record  of  400 gallons   by building a  pot holding 832 gallons of baked beans. The previous record for the largest pot of   baked beans was held by Sarcievo , Macedonia  with a 832.14 US gallons  of baked beans.
The Largest pot of baked beans contained 1010 gallons of  butter beans and was set by Alabama Butter Beans Festival  at Pinson, Alabama, United  states of America on September 5,2010.
