This years’ Annual Meeting will be Saturday, November 16, 2024 at 1:00 pm in the Millersburg Christian Church located at 4527 State Hwy J, Millersburg, MO (Fulton P.O. 65251).
The Millersburg Christian Church was organized sometime from 1817 to 1829, holding Sunday school and church services in the home of Samuel Miller. With a growing membership, a building was constructed in 1858 on the east side of the community on the current site of the church. Several expansions and renovations over the years brought more seating, a fellowship hall, and a kitchen. In 1977, a new building was constructed on the original site, which included a sanctuary, classrooms, a fellowship hall, and a kitchen.
Elaine George of Hallsville will be our featured speaker of Eating our Way Through Missouri: Food for Travelers and Settlers. Elaine and her husband Ray are long time co-chairs of the Boone County Ham Show at the Boone County Fair. She will share details such as how the Reserve Grand Champion hams are prepared and judged, the many traditions of 4H in Boone County, the history of the fair in the 1800s, as well as the careful curing of hams in Missouri. Participants will also be updated by Sara Coppersmith on the BLRA Foodways Project, following with discussions exploring foods from Missouri’s early settlement to present. We invite everyone to share their recipes, stories and local history. No registration is needed. The meeting is open to the public. Email President@booneslickroad.org for more information.
