A Wabash County Labor Day tradition returns this weekend with the 102nd annual Orio Chowder. The chowder is hosted by Wabash Presbyterian Church in Orio and Reverend Kevin McGinnis says chowder will be ready early Saturday…
McGinnis says there’s something for everyone tomorrow in Orio….
Chowder is $23 a gallon as 1,100 gallons are being made today. Last year, 1,000 gallons sold out before 1:00.
This year, an extra 100 gallons will be prepared bringing the total to 1,100 gallons being served. In addition, there’ll be softball, sand volleyball, horseshoes, and washers tournaments. Proceeds from the chowder go to church missions and maintenance of the Oreo Cemetery
