Seniors Spring Trip

     On Monday, May 15, 2017, some Fork Seniors boarded the church bus at 7:30 A.M. for a trip to Shatley Springs for breakfast. Only 12 Fork Seniors were able to go. The sign-up sheet listed 23 who planned to go, however, due to sickness and unexpected circumstances, only 12 actually went.
​
        Shatley Springs is an old restaurant located in Crumpler, NC. They serve family style food (if you want it) and everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. The food served was: country ham, sausage, bacon, eggs, gravy, potato wedges, fried apples, biscuits and homemade strawberry jelly and apple butter.
​
        It took two hours to get there, but it was worth the wait. There is a natural spring located there and they have it fixed so you can get a jug to take with you if you bring your own jug. The water is supposed to have healing powers! Wilson Merrell was the only one who brought a jug but several of us got a cup of the water to drink.
​
       On the way back home we stopped at Howard's Strawberry stand and most everyone purchased fresh strawberries and other produce. We arrived back at the church around 2:00 P.M. We all appreciated Dallas Jones for driving the bus for us.
