The annual Leesburg Partnership Fish Fry has been a popular tradition for decades and a great way to welcome the spring season with friends. The April 7 event was hosted under the oak trees of the Mote-Morris House where hundreds savored a hearty meal of fresh fried fish, cheese grits, hush puppies, corn-on-the-cob, steamed oysters, collard greens, coleslaw, corn bread, key lime pie shooters, and drinks.
