World Championship Dainty Contest

Hauck's Corner 100 Goss Avenue, Louisville

  One of Louisville's most unique traditions will continue for a 56th year. Held in the Schnitzelburg neighborhood, this obscure German street game has become a cherished tradition that draws crowds onto the sidewalk of George Hauck Way to eat bologna sandwiches, listen to ragtime music, and watch contestants swing a whittled broomstick in hopes of being crowned a world champion.
