At least 20 people who attended the annual "Beast Feast and Wild Game Supper" at the Eastern Shore First Baptist Church last weekend got sick. Health department officials say eight of those 20 people were infected with the E. coli bacteria."Three of the people infected are still in the hospital," says Teresa Porter with the Baldwin County Health Department. "And there's an two-to-ten day incubation period for this organism so we've got a couple more days to go."
Associate Pastor Ken Wilson at the Eastern Shore Baptist Church says they're praying for the people who got sick.
"It's affected all of us as a church family," says Wilson. "We're doing whatever we can to help the families affected and we're cooperating with the health department."
Health department officials were at the church Monday inspecting the snack bar inside the church gym where the food was served.
