All money raised from the event benefits local organizations, including Anchor House Family Assistance Center and Pantry, Boys & Girls Club of Seymour, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Community Provisions of Jackson County, Girls Inc. of Jackson County, Child Care Network and others.
The event typically raises between $3,000 and $3,500, said event chairman Richard Beatty.
“It’s a good way for the community to come together and help out,” he said. “We’d like to pack the park and get more groups involved.”
Two whole pigs will be cooked, providing more than 200 meals, he said.
Sponsors for the event include Darlage Custom Meats, Duke Energy, Premier Ag, JayC Food Stores, Pepsi, the Jackson County Visitor Center, Pewter Hall, Bob Poynter dealerships of Seymour, Royalty Companies and Hildreth’s Liquor Mart.
“Without them, we couldn’t put it on,” Beatty said.
