Boss Hill held his community goat and chicken stew that drew 1500 people a year. The colas were iced down in a trough. The goat, chicken and beef stews were heated in waist-high black kettles while men stirred them with something akin to a boat paddle. Political signs sprouted like dandelions along a roadside. It was the place to be the first Wednesday in May for more than 30 years. After Hill's death, Greg and Marcus Hobbs decided to continue the tradition of their uncle.
The tradition continued today under bright skies. After the tornadoes and storms earlier this week, it was an opportunity to take a break from the thoughts of sadness in our community. Many took a "breather" from helping those in Clements to come and grab a bite to eat before heading back to work. The stews and desserts were great as they normally are. Special thanks to all those that worked to make the annual Boss Hill Stew possible.
