We all have our favorite super heroes, but right now, the Hopkins County Chamber of Commerce is looking for a Stewper Hero!
The theme for this year’s 55th Annual Hopkins County Stew Festival is Stewper Heroes and we are looking for just that right logo.
The person who submits the winning logo will receive a Stewper-size package that includes four stew tickets, four T-shirts featuring the logo, one quart ticket and one coveted parking pass.
Logo submissions can be made on our website, HopkinsChamber.org, or emailed to [email protected].
The deadline for submissions is midnight June 7.
This year’s stew festival is Saturday, Oct. 26, at Buford Park.
