Folks gathered at the Macon County Senior Center in Lafayette on Friday, March 14, to celebrate the 3rd Annual Possum Day, sponsored by WEEN radio’s ‘Hey Dale’ morning show.

Radio hosts Dale Meador and Kim Evans MC’d the event, Anna Dean Carter represented the Senior Center and possum chef Barbara Blankenship prepared the dish to perfection.

During the celebration the Simmon’s Sister performed on vocals with Anice Jones on piano and many of those in attendance bravely tasted the marsupial delicacy.
