How long since you have seen one of these? Pineapple upside down cake!! Isn't it beautiful! And one of our Searcy AR Chicken Cookin' Queens from 1972 make it yesterday, July 20 2024, and brought it to me! The mystery is whether they are still as popular as they were so many years ago! I was absolutely amazed at the beauty!! Here's the queen back in 1972. And here's the blog that I did just a few days ago with her as a finalist. https://activerain.com/droplet/J9st She still reigns supremely! Thank you, Queen Betty!! (8 comments)
Ladies from Searcy AR Way back in the 1970s Searcy had a lot of Chicken Cooking Queens. I loved seeing their newspaper clippings and as I have complained about before, we were lovely ladies but had no names. We were called by our husband's names in the clippings. In the one above, 1973, notice Mrs. Benson Robbins (Betty) who was a finalist. This blog has come to my attention because she just gave me a gift. She became the winner in 1978 and she just gave me a little copy of her recipe. Here it is! Wonder if she still makes the dish! Congratulations, Betty, (6 comments)

My favorite one was probably the one with two young Searcy girls that we know and love standing beside a convertible.
