Anson County will have its 3rd annual Catfish Stew Cookoff at Hatcher Park in Lilesville, from 12 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 16.
All cooks who enjoy a challenge are encourage to attend the search to find out who is really the best. The stew will be judged by a new select panel of judges and a champion will be crowned.
