2023 World Championship Turkey Calling Contest

Many of the country’s top turkey callers are eagerly awaiting the chance to show off their talents at the Mobile Convention Center June 9-10. The World Championship Turkey Calling Contest has long-time ties to the city of Mobile. The inaugural event was held in Mobile in 1940 at the Battle House Hotel when Mr. Fred T. Stimpson, the current mayor's grandfather, took home top honors.
