Here in Florida, about an hour to the northwest of here (here is Daytona Beach) is a town called Crescent City where they have the annual catfish festival. The highlight of the festival is the catfish skinning contest. Yes, you read that correctly. I could elaborate on the gory details, but I'll spare you =)
