We went with our neighbors to a fund-raiser fish fry in Clifton on Friday night. We’ve enjoyed several of these “every other Friday” fish fries that support the Ashe Outreach Ministries. They serve plates with 2 nice fish filets, french fries, slaw, hushpuppies, drink and desert for $8. We sat at an outside table under a canopy, listening to local musicians, and visiting with others doing likewise. The man next to me said, “I’m eating the same thing you are.” I said, “Yes, it’s the best thing on the menu.”
Coming back through West Jefferson, we stopped at the Ashe Arts Center for the “Back Street” concert which moved inside because of the rain. The music was provided by The Crooked Road Ramblers, including 2 female musicians on banjo and bass and 3 male musicians playing a fiddle and two guitars. Good music in a nice setting.
Saturday morning, we went to the Farmer’s Market in West Jefferson and bought tomatoes, squash, egg plant, sweet potatoes, and cucumbers. There was a steady drizzle in the morning and by afternoon there was a steady rain. An afternoon nap was almost inevitable.
