Last year's Pimiento King was Henry Milner.
Pimiento Fest this Saturday
Pike County was famous for growing the heart-shaped red pimiento peppers in the middle of the 20th century. This year's Pimiento Fest will be held Saturday, April 14 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the Zebulon courthouse square.
Events will include the crowning of a Pimiento King or Queen, the World's Famous Pimiento Cheese Spread Contest, music, foods and booths with an emphasis on gardening.
The honor of being crowned Pimiento King or Queen will go to someone who had a hand in pimiento production, from growing them to canning them.
At high noon, find out who won the 2012 "World's Best Pimiento Cheese Spread" contest, so if you have a tasty recipe, be at the courthouse at 10 a.m. with enough of your special pimiento cheese spread for the three judges - it's worth $100 for first prize!

It is unfortunate the guy that wants to be Queen of the Fest is representing Pike County in Harris City.

Just because the biscuit man was not voted Pimiento Queen is no reason to get upset. No reason for Sour Pimiento's. Woman up, there is always next year.
