2nd Annual Uncle Fletch Hamburger Festival Returns Sept. 26

The Uncle Fletch Hamburger Festival is coming back to Athens from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 26!

For the second straight year, the iconic festival is going to be on the Courthouse square in downtown Athens and will feature the crowning of the World's Best Burger, fun contests, vendors and food.

Burgers entered into the hamburger cook-off contest will be judged on flavor, texture of meat, aroma and presentation. This year in addition to the World's Best trophy, other prizes include $600 for first place, $250 for second place, $150 for third place, a trophy for Uncle Fletch Spirit and a trophy for Best Decorated. The cook team from Trinity Valley Community College took home the World Champion Uncle Fletch Cook-Off trophy at the 2014 festival; you won't want to miss the excitement when this year's winner is announced.

This year, organizers will have additional hamburger food vendors to make sure everyone gets a hamburger and they will also have food trucks from Dallas serving a few other items to spice things up a bit.

After the festival, head on over to Bruce Field for the TVCC football game at 5 p.m. as the Cardinals take on Texas A&T.
