Thanks to everyone from the community and from out of town who attended and supported this event. The event was held on Saturday, August 16, 2025 at the Benton Hall which is located at 1806 Walnut Street in Higginsville, Missouri.We served catfish, pulled pork, cheeseburgers, potato salad, slaw, and dessert. We had a delicious drink that’s been finally called the Saint James AME Church friendship tea.
