Title A name given to the resource Ten Years of Tradition in a Bottle: Cook Family Cane Cooking Description An account of the resource Since 2015, the Saturday after Thanksgiving has belonged to the Cook family in Coverdale. What started as a simple reason to gather has quietly ebbed and flowed into a tradition for many. Ten years in, it’s not an event you RSVP to; it’s just family, neighbors, lunch tables, and a fire that burns for hours without complaint. In most homes, the holiday weekend winds down in stretchy pants and leftovers eaten straight from the fridge. Pa’s Syrup Shack is where leftovers become part of a bigger equation. Long tables and camp chairs pop up outdoors, and a potluck lunch unfolds like it always has: dense with home cooking, short on ceremony, and heavy on comfort. The potluck spread features fresh smoked chicken quarters and a lineup of sides that range from classic dressing, potato salad, mac and cheese, to corn soufflé. The dessert table held its own spotlight, loaded down with fresh pecan pies, banana pudding, and pound cake sliced thick and unapologetic, to name a few. This wasn’t light eating. This was legacy food, the kind built for community, not restraint. But the real work, the heart of the day, simmers nearby in the syrup kettle. Cane syrup commands patience. Four, sometimes five hours of steady heat, gas fed into flame, and long stretches of easy conversation. The process hasn’t changed in a decade. The pace is non-negotiable. The reward is predictable: something rich, something pure, and something worth waiting on. This year’s yield was 87 bottles. Eighty-seven bottles of liquid gold, amber and thick, poured hot and sealed fast. It’s the kind of syrup that makes you rethink every bottle you ever bought in a store. Not because it’s rare, but because it’s real and tastes like a Turner County memory. And that’s the point of ten years of doing it. The repetition is the relevance. Traditions don’t become traditions in the excitement. They become traditions in return. In showing up, stirring the pan, passing the plates, bottling the batch, and promising, without ever needing to say it, that we’ll do it again next year.

Title A name given to the resource Cheryle Bryan Subject The topic of the resource A portrait of Cheryle Bryan, lawyer. Description An account of the resource Although she was not born in Turner County, Cheryle Bryan without a doubt is full of pride for our little community. Her arrival to Ashburn on Election Day 1972 is one she will always remember as a new beginning and a chance for her to become an active citizen in our town. But it was also a step toward her future success. Lauded as the first female lawyer for the Tifton Judicial Circuit, she has faced misogyny and sexism since she has graduated from John Marshall University in Atlanta throughout her career. It has shaped the lawyer she is today and has led to a fulfilling, long career. On October 2021, she celebrates 51 years of being a lawyer. On April 17, 2021, the Turner County Project sat down with Cheryle to reflect on her journey to opening her law practice in Ashburn that has been in operation since April 15, 1974.
