EIC hosting Whole Hawg events

The Eufaula Indian Community will host its annual Whole Hawg Day event on Saturday, July 26.

It will kick off with an Arts & Crafts Show beginning at 10 a.m.

The public can see and purchase authentic handmade items including beadwork, artwork, ribbon skirts, jewelry, Big Foot dolls and t-shirts, leather goods and more.

Vendors have donated items to the silent auction, which will go until 2 p.m., when winners will be announced.

Bidders are urged to be in attendance.

The Indian Taco sale will be held at the Edna Belcher Nutrition Center from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., or until the tacos run out. Dine in or carry out.
