The approach of Hurricane Matthew reduced the crowd for the 2016 Screven County Fish Fry but did not prevent two Republican members of Congress from speaking and about 100 other people from coming to hear them and eat the fish. Rep. Rick Allen, R-Georgia 12th District, and Rep. Joe Wilson, R-South Carolina 2nd District, spoke at the event last Thursday evening at the Pathway Center near Sylvania. The supper continued a 19-year tradition, with some past installments having been called 12th District GOP Fish Fries.
