One of Southeast Arkansas’ favorite and time-honored traditions gets underway Thursday afternoon when the Grady Lions Club hosts its 58th annual fish fry. Every year, on the third Thursday in August, people from all over the state travel to Grady to enjoy fried catfish, fries, watermelon, and hushpuppies made with their famous hushpuppy machine. Read Seark Today’s coverage of last year’s fish fry to learn more about this great Southeast Arkansas tradition. The event gets underway at 4 p.m. on Hardin Farms in Grady.

________Grady Fish Fry tonight from 4pm to 8:30pm!!!! I was sad to learn that the 56th Grady Fish Fry fell on the week I was gone to Boston. In 2010 I got to go and enjoyed meeting all the politicians like Pryor, Boozman, Lincoln, Darr and many others. In 2011 Pryor was back again. I expect to see him again tonight. A couple of years ago I introduced Rex Nelson to Sherwood Haisty and Rex wrote a fine article on Mr. Haisty’s involvement with the Grady Fish Fry.
