The Meyersville Volunteer Fire Department (MVFD) held its annual stew fundraiser on a chilly and drizzly Saturday morning, February 22. Meyersville is located east of U.S. Highway 183 and about 14 miles south of Cuero. The fire station is conveniently located across from the quaint Meyersville store, with the eye-catching large yellow sign of Isaac Egg's Son Coca-Cola sign. The Egg family once raised turkeys and transported them to the Cuero market during the inaugural Turkey Trot in 1912.
For $12, patrons could purchase a pre-sale ticket for a quart of piping hot, savory beef stew, a dish that has become a cherished tradition over the past six or seven years.
“This is stew season. In the past, we had barbecue chicken for like 15 or 20 years to pay for our trucks,” Bruce Gohmert said.
