I hope you'll join us for Stewpot's giant fundraiser, Taste of Mississippi on Monday. The brick walkways and balconies of Highland Village in Jackson, MS will be filled with restaurants (including The Crown) serving wonderful food and drinks to over 1,000 people on Monday night from 7:00 pm to 9:00! We're making gallons of our yummy Chicken and Sausage Gumbo that we serve at The Crown every day! Tony and I really want to visit with you and serve YOU a bowl of our Gumbo!
Taste of Mississippi is Homegrown Hunger Relief in 2009! The money raised (more than $112,000 last year) is a critical part of Stewpot's ability to perform 17 different ministries benefiting the homeless and poor throughout the year with over 140,000 meals, four Stewpot Shelters that helped more than 1,200 families, Meals on Wheels and the Stewpot Food Pantry. This is truly volunteers and religious congregations at work helping the needy! So worthy of all our support!
Not only is it a worthy cause, but it has been named one of the Top 20 Events by the Southeast Tourism Society! So it's also just plain FUN! Ya'll come to Jackson Monday night, March 30th - you can buy at ticket at www.tasteofms.org. There's also a silent auction...with "A Day in the Delta Gift"...Lunch for Two at The Crown and tickets to the B.B. King Museum! Ya'll come on Monday Night!
