13TH ANNUAL HOG KILLIN'
TIME BARBECUE
SMUTEYE - Once
again, we write to invite you, our friends from near and far, to gather in
Smuteye and celebrate the beginning of hog killin' time.
 Traditionally
this feast was held by Major’s great grandfather, Major, to celebrate his
grandson, Charles’ birthday. Today, we continue the tradition with our
fall gathering of friends to share food and friendship.
Plans are underway!
Wayne Jones will once again head the team of Pig Roasters assisted by John
D. Cox. Roasting will start Friday evening and will take at least 14
hours. A few brave souls will spend the night camped around the
hickory and oak bonfire that produces coals for the pit. Let us know
if you would like to join in the roasting!
The day promises to
provide an afternoon of good food with great friends, great music
(hopefully Henry Pugh) and fun-filled fall activities.
We’ll begin
the hospitality around noon. The fires will be toasting tempting
treats and the property will be open for tours and hikes. The pork
procession, followed immediately by the traditional photo and serious
eating, will start around 2:30 pm on Saturday.
Margaret will
continue the tradition and build a fire under the 80-gallon cast iron
syrup kettle to create her Fabulous, Four-alarm, Fifty-gallon chili.
Hobson promises to barbecue some more of his special delicacies. In
addition, guests are invited to bring salads, vegetables, desserts, and
beverages to add to the banquet.
We will light the
bonfire as soon as temperatures allow. We expect the Chick & Fran
Cleveland clan to return as Fire Master and Junior Fire Masters, managing
the wood gatherers at the fire pit.
The usual
activities of hiking, touring the historic cabins, running in the fresh
air and feeding uncountable peanuts and apples to horses will be
available.
Be
sure to bring your appetite!
