Wild Game Supper

Saturday night Jean and I had an incredible meal and very fine fellowship down at the second annual Wild Game Supper. The meal took place at the Sulphur Well Church of Christ on Oak Grove Road, and seven thousand dollars will be donated to the Boy's and Girl's Club of Henry County. Supper was enjoyed with six to seven hundred of our closest friends and was delicious.

The cuisine was absolutely tremendous with 16 different meats, and 11 of those being wild game. There was deer, buffalo, turkey, duck, goose, shrimp, fish, dove, boar, beaver, raccoon, chicken, squirrel, pork, moose, and rabbit. The deer was fixed at least four different ways including stew, burgers, steaks, and tenderloin. The squirrel was fixed in with dumplings and was my personal favorite, although that decision was mighty hard to come by because the deep fried turkey nuggets were very, very, good! The fixins' included baked beans, soup beans, gumbo, hushpuppies, at least five different kinds of cornbread, every chip known to man, tacos and all the extras, several different coleslaws, and potato salads. The desserts were also wonderful with six tables set up and were overflowing so that each dining table also held a pie. A conservative estimate would be over seventy cakes and pies.

Also, themed cakes were made and prizes were awarded in several categories, and then the cakes were auctioned to the highest bidder. A lot of wildlife was represented with cakes made to look like a 'possum, a turkey, a beaver, owl barf balls, a skunk, and worms.

Paris and Henry County continue to have affairs that make Jean & I say that we are proud our home is in this community. We believe the Boy's and Girl's Club is a worthwhile endeavor and are glad we can be a part!
