Hopkins County Chamber Of Commerce Connection 07.12.23

By Butch Burney

If you are a returning stew cook or a new cook who wants to get in on the biggest annual event in Hopkins County, it’s time to start registering.

Registration for stew cooks is now available online at HopkinsChamber.org. The cost remains the same for our cooks, a $100 registration fee. You can also pre-order this year’s T-shirt with Stew Cook on the back for just $20 each.

If you are a returning stew cook, check your email account for a form sent from us, and if you don’t do email, then watch for a registration form to hit your mailbox in the next week.

The 54th Annual Hopkins County Stew Festival, presented by Alliance Bank, has kept its costs down because of our generous businesses in the community, and the price just got even cheaper for some families.

Signature Solar and the Chamber announced last week that children 12 and under will eat free at the festival on Saturday, Oct 28, due to Signature Solar’s generous sponsorship.

Children will still need tickets, which you can purchase online or via paper tickets. Online access is $8.00 each for everyone 13 years and older and will be available Jul 1 at HopkinsChamber.org. Paper tickets will be available on Aug 1 at the Chamber and local banks.

City National Bank will sponsor the Friday night festivities on Oct 27, and we will announce that line-up soon.

Thanks to our sponsors who make the stew festival affordable for families in Hopkins County. Follow the Chamber’s Instagram and Facebook accounts for spotlights on our sponsors and updates on the stew festival.
