Cox Plantation Annual Hog Killin' Time Barbecue in Smuteye, Alabama

[Note: Somehow in all the activities last year, we didn't get a usable copy of the entire group photo. That's why you see the 2004 group shot above. We would appreciate anyone with a good group shot from 2005 to contact us, or just email a copy to us at cox@smuteye.com. Thanks.]

Enjoy these photos from 2005. Click any photo to see a larger version.
