ANNUAL BOSS HILL STEW IS CANCELLED

Another of our historical events have fallen prey to the Virus of 2020.  

From Marcus Hobbs: After much discussion and consideration, we have decided to cancel the Annual Boss Hill Stew Day this year. With all that is going on with the COVID 19, we feel this is in the best interest of our community. This is not a decision that we have taken lightly. It saddens us not to be able to do this for the community, but we just feel we have no choice at this point. We, as many of you, look forward to this day each year. It’s a great time for the community to get together and fellowship on a positive note. We look forward to seeing you all on Stew Day 2021!  Thanks for your understanding. Take time to enjoy your family during these trying times. My prayer is that each and every one of you will remain healthy. Have a great evening!  

Each year 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.
 

This year's annual Boss Hill Chicken and Goat Stew will be Wednesday, May 1 starting from 11 am-2 pm.  The best time to be there is about 11:30 am. Look for the tents at Lockes Cross Roads... Please bring a dessert and join us at 11:00 AM for lunch. This is NOT a fundraiser; it is strictly an opportunity for the community to get together...looking forward to seeing you there.. A look back to a stew when the Boss was still here.
