Pope Cemetery Fish Fry

The annual Pope Cemetery fish fry, held on May 10 at the Turner Community Building was a great success. Even the bad weather could not put a damper on attendance. What a turn out! Approximately 100 people were served.

Hazel Holt was the organizer of getting the ladies to bring all the fine fixings and drinks. Richard Mirus was the organizer of getting the guys to help with cooking the fish, chicken and hush puppies! Give them a hand for they did an exceptional job!

The community made approximately $1200.00. After paying out all expenses, profit was approximately $654.00.

Feedback from people attending was very positive. Having it held in a building with clean restrooms and air condition was a big plus!

The beautiful quilt donated by Hazel Holt and hand quilted by the Turner Quilting Guild was won by Max and Elizabeth Fryar, Mulberry, AR.

We want to thank everyone who participated in helping out and those in attendance.
