SEYMOUR, Wis. (NBC 26) -- The city of Seymour is hosting its annual Burger Fest this weekend, and organizers are anticipating nearly 20,000 people to visit their community of 3,500. At the gathering, folks can take in live music, take a trip down a ketchup sprayed slip and slide watch a parade and car show, partake in a hamburger eating contest, and of course, guests can also watch a 200-pound hamburger get cooked and served up.

"When we cook the 200 pounder everybody just wants to see what it's all about. So even though it will cook for eight, or nine hours, people will be lined up. They want to get a peek of it, they want to see how we slice it how we serve it," says Darren Campbell who is a part of the grilling team.

The festivities will resume on Saturday at 9 am with a car show with the first burgers being served by 11 am. Check out this link for a full list and times of the events.
