Nothing but Nets 2008

A great crowd came to support the event.

Of course, it's the burgers that draws the crowd.

The hand-cut taters aren't bad, either.

The conversation is just as important as the food.

Hog Roast 2009

The pig must be scalded so the hair can be scraped off.

The scraped hog is prepared for butchering.

The meat is cut up and prepared for eating.

Just look at those ribs on the grill. YUM!

Cutting up the cooked meat so we can eat it!

Every year on the second Friday and Saturday, Wesley UMC has the annual Hog Roast. The hog is prepared "like they used to", from hoof to table.

This is a very educational experience for young and old. This process shows that meat doesn't come from the grocery store. Grandma didn't buy crisco; she cooked lard from the hog, resulting in cracklin's. Today's pork rinds at the store are actually imitations of the cracklin's from the old rendering pot.

As a community event, everyone is invited. Help with the preparation and eat the wonderful results. Yall come!
