On July 5th 2014, the Catfish Cook- off took place. There were a few problems with electricity, but that didn’t stop these chefs from creating some delicious spins on their own version of catfish.  There were 10 judges, William King, Barbie and Dave Tatman, Greg Baxter, Jerry Smith, Blake Chambers, Jodie Southerland, Gina Howard, Kim Embry, and Mary Harris, and they had a hard time picking these winners from the delicious plates presented.  The Catfish Cook-off is sponsored by Dr. Todd Cohron.

Winners included:

 Mr. and Mrs. Jeffery Scott Weeks of Greensboro, Alabama announce the engagement of their daughter, Andrea Grace Weeks, to Clay Russell Tynes, son of Mr. and Mrs. Randall Wayne Tynes of Morgantown.

The bride-elect is the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Albert Acker, Sr. of Greensboro, Alabama and Dr. and Mrs. George Eliot Weeks of Moundville, Alabama.
