The Mary Callaway Burton Fellowship Hall of the First Baptist Church was the scene of a miscellaneous shower honoring Amanda Woods, bride-elect of Curry Hogan, on Saturday afternoon, March 13.

Hostesses for the afternoon occasion were the prospective bridegroom’s aunts, Kathryn Hunter of Washington and Jackie Butts of Crawfordville, and cousins, Lisa Newsome of Washington, Erin Hunter of Statesboro, Debra Hunter of Bishop, and Mary Butts of Stockbridge.
