FOOD - There will be lots to choose from -- rib-eye steak sandwiches, catfish, chicken, pulled pork, hamburgers, corn dogs, and more. This year we'll also be serving breakfast so come early for some great breakfast food! For dessert, there will be cookies, cakes, and all kinds of sweets. The Chautauqua Garden Club will be selling their famous homemade ice cream, and the Copiah County 4-H will serve hot coffee, hot chocolate, and cold drinks all day.
