TRAVEL TO AMISH COUNTRY Come with us on Friday, September 20, as we head to the Amish Community in Ethridge. Rather than take the covered wagon tour, this time we will visit the different farms on our own, stopping here and there as the mood strikes us. There should be plenty of fall crops — pumpkins, gourds, sweet potatoes and peanuts — and, if our timing is good, sorghum molasses! We will also have the opportunity to check out some of the furniture and crafts the Amish make by hand. Lunch will be served buffet style at the Country Mill Restaurant there in the community. The van will leave the Center at 9 am. Van fee is $7.
NORWEGIAN COOKING DEMONSTRATION SEPT. 19 Scandinavian sisters Sharon Lassiter and Sharol Hopwood will pay homage to their forebears this September 19th, when they demonstrate how to make a Norske lunsj, which means “Norwegian lunch.” The menu is destined to be delicious and includes: · Norske Potet Suppe (Norwegian Potato Soup) · Smorbord (open Norwegian sandwich) · and Krumkaka, a delicate rolled cookie for dessert, made in a Krumkaka Iron and rolled on a special funnel shaped tool. You may have seen Sharol and Sharon prepare Krumkaka at the Center before. The difference this time is that they’ll be making it for us! Yummo! The fun begins at 10:30, when the twins say, “Velkommen til var Norske mat demonstrasjon.” If you want to know what that means, you’ll need to come to the demonstration! Lunch will be served at 11:30. Cost is $4. Please sign up by Monday the 16th.
RED HAT SOCIETY HEADS TO CLARKSVILLE College Grove Red Hatters are planning a round of shopping this September 25th at Miss Lucille’s Marketplace in Clarksville. Miss Lucille’s has a variety of vendors that range from rare antiques, shabby chic, handmade gifts, décor and skilled craftsmen. Lunch will be impromptu. Be at the Center by 9 am. Van fee is $8.
