Doodle Soup Days Festival

Once a year the community of Bradford, Tennessee celebrates a one-of-a-kind festival known as Doodle Soup Days. Why not?  Bradford is known as the Doodle Soup Capital of the World. This unique concoction is rooted in local history and has raised the curiosity of many abroad.
