The
great weather is accommodating a lot of outside activities so be sure to
take advantage of them!
FOOD
– The Masonic Lodge is having their annual fish fry today so stop by
the lodge on Leasburg Road for drive-up or dine in service. Great
fish and drink for $6. Available at lunch and at dinner.
Hot
Dog lunch for the Christian Help Center next Friday May 9 at Long
Memorial Methodist Church in Uptown Roxboro from 11-1 in the fellowship
hall. Come help support the Christian Help Center as they provide a
valuable service to our area all from donations.
ENTERTAINMENT
– The Castaway’s will be at The Flaming Star in Semora Saturday
night so call The Star to reserve a table as a large crowd is expected.
See more information on their web site at: www.theflamingstar.com
The Pizazz Band was there last Saturday and as usual they
entertained a large crowd.
Bill
Lester says he will be playing the top Beach and Shag songs this
Saturday afternoon. Tune into to Bill at 96.7 FM and give him a call as
you cruise the lake at 599-0266 to request your favorite. With gas
prices, I’m sure there will be more “float boat parties” on the
lake where a group of pontoon and other boats all tie to together and
hang out. Bill will be playing beach tunes from 3 to 7 PM every
Saturday.
“Clash
of the Carts” in Uptown Roxboro was a huge success for the first time
out of the gate last Saturday. Congratulations to all the entries
as all of them were winners! See photos on a link at: www.historicroxboro.com
Make plans to build your cart for next year’s event or come join the
fun festivities!
“Alive
After Five” May 15 in Uptown will bring in Raleigh favorite band Cafe'
Mars. Café Mars consists of an all-star line-up of
Raleigh/Durham-area musicians, and can be found most any night of the
week at restaurants, clubs and private events delivering a unique fusion
of Top-40 hits, contemporary jazz, and danceable rock-n-roll, all
filtered through their jazz/funk sensibilities. Bring your lawn
chair if you don’t plan to dance the night away. Food and
beverage available on site. Starts after five of course.

PERSONAL
FAVORITES
– From time to time, I bring you some of my local favorites in and
around our great County. This week I want to tell you about Flat
River Nursery. Now before you think this is just a flower and
shrub business, let me tell you about their secret. Beautiful,
huge strawberries, $1.10 a lb. if you pick and $1.85 a lb. if they pick
(call ahead if you want them already picked). They have greenhouse
tomatoes and greenhouse cucumbers at $2.85 a lb. They have lots of
hanging baskets, bedding plants and herbs. Please call
336-364-2460 for more information. Located at: 1548 Holeman Ashley
Rd., Timberlake, NC which is just off of 501 South of Roxboro. Or

I
can personally attest to the tomatoes being as close to fresh, garden
taste and they are almost perfect in shape and quality. They are
also vine ripened so no pulling and shipping these green. Buy a
bag load because you’ll want to eat them daily!
NEW
BUSINESS
– Grand Occasion Party Rentals is here just in time for that party at
the lake or in your backyard! Located at 969 Old Durham Road
inside of DATCO and Landscape Supply near Talbert Building Supply.

fountains, champagne fountains, chafing dishes and many other party

MOTHER’S
DAY
– Don’t forget Mother’s Day is next Sunday May 11. Take Mom out
for lunch and/or dinner and maybe a ride on the lake.
