The 2023 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with Chicken Bog: The Chicken Bog King of the Pee Dee.
Chicken Bog is a traditional Southern stew that served the appetites of rural families in the swamp communities of South Carolina's Lowcountry. The Mayor of Latta, in the historic Pee Dee region, has long held the mantle of “Chicken Bog King of the Pee Dee.”
Filmmaker Stan Woodward follows him as he and his crew prepare a chicken bog (chicken, rice and secret ingredients only known to the stew master) for serving at a stump meeting rally for a local United States Congressman running for re-election. Such stews are used in conjunction with political rallies in this part of the state, with the chicken bog tradition tracing back to the late 1800s and the democratic stump meeting held annually at Gallivants Ferry.
The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 20 at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.
The Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2023. For more information, call the Horry County Museum at (843) 915-5320 or email hcg.museum@horrycountysc.gov.
