The Archibald Bulloch Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution held its 20th annual Georgia Day luncheon Thursday in the Perry Fellowship Hall of First Baptist Church in honor of the colonial founding of the Province of Georgia in 1733. The program for the event was entitled “Georgia’s Crazy Days: The Three-Governor Period” and those in attendance heard the intriguing story of the time in Georgia’s history when three men felt that each had a legitimate claim to the governorship. Jenny Foss, editor of Statesboro Magazine, delighted guests with the complicated, convoluted and sometimes humorous events that led to three men vying for the position.
