HAPPY 4^th of July!

 

LOCAL BUSINESS –  Hurdle Mills Market and Flat River Café – If you haven’t ventured out to Hurdle Mills Market, then you are missing some great food items.  They have probably the best butcher shop around and are there to meet your needs.  We had some of their hamburgers for Father’s day and they were great.  Also found Jim’s Sauces, chow-chow and other hard to find items.  Go out and support this fine local business and I guarantee you will be pleased.  Also stop in next door for a good meal at Flat River Café.  In downtown Hurdle Mills.

ENTERTAINMENT  - The Pizazz Band will make Hyco Lake their home this 4th of July holiday performing at Doug Adam’s home on Saturday night and then Warm Waters on Sunday night.  These are sure to be well attended so join the crowd each night.   Fireworks for the 4th will occur near the Hyco ski course and also near the Person/Caswell line beyond the camp grounds.  Ride your boat up for a spectacular display on the warm waters of Hyco –there’s nothing like it!  Roxboro will also have fireworks tonight (Friday) at the High School.   The annual 4th of July parade will also occur in Uptown Roxboro on Monday July 5th beginning at 10AM.  This old time parade features floats, fire trucks, old vehicles and many more entries.  Food vendors and a live band afterward at Merritt Commons.   8th Annual Flem Whitt Beach Music Festival is coming Saturday August 7th.  For one price hear the finest bands around including: Band of Oz, The Castaways, Hip Pocket and Jim Quick and Coastline.

PERSONAL FAVORITE –  Last week I was home doing some painting so I decided to go down at lunch to see Mickey Gentry at Hamlett’s Pizza in Semora.  I had heard that his hotdogs were as good as any around so I tried them out.  Boy were they good.  Mickey not only has pizza but sandwiches also and he adds his own touch and if they aren’t the best around, then he won’t serve them.  Stop in and tell him Randy sent you!

 

Also been getting some great Silver Queen corn down at the Farmer’s Market on Depot Street.  We cut the ends off leaving the shuck, wrap in about two layers of aluminum foil and put on the Holland for 40 minutes.  The shucks and silks just fall off and you add butter and salt and you have the perfect meal.  The shucks seem to keep in the corn flavor.

 

ADVISORY – The Person-Caswell Lake Authority reminds you to pick up your new boat dock tag at the office.  All docks have been reassigned new numbers so you’ll have to get the new tag and put it up.  West and Woodall has volunteered to go get your tag and put it up if you can’t get up here soon to do it or if you don’t have the means to mount the tag.  It is suppose to be located in a place that can be viewed from the water.  Call or contact West and Woodall at: (336)322-5800 or email to: whit@westandwoodall.com  Thanks West and Woodall for providing this as a service to the Hyco community! The numbering system use the logic of starting at the North Hyco Hwy 57 bridge going counterclockwise around the shoreline and ending up back at the bridge so if you are near St. Georges, your number may be single digits and if near Tommy Middleton, then 2400 or so.

 

Take notice that the N.C. Highway Patrol and the N.C. Wildlife will be out in full force this holiday weekend.  If you are drinking, please get a designated driver or be prepared to take a trip to the Person or Caswell County law enforcement center!

 

New boating law May 1, 2010 requires anyone under 26 years old to take boat safety course for operating boats or jet skis or anything with over 10 HP engine.  (Click here for the NC Wildlife bulletin)

 

ADVERTISER HIGHLIGHT –  I talked with Judy LaRue last week and she is excited about listing the former Lane House on South Hyco.  This huge house has many amenities that other lake houses do not have.  Call Judy to get an appointment to see this house.  The Lane’s were the former owners of the Lane Furniture Company.  See more at: http://www.judylaruehycolake.com/
