Outdoor Fun at Honda–SeaDoo–CanAm of Winston-Salem

BY DENISE HEIDEL

For over 20 years, Honda–SeaDoo–CanAm of Winston-Salem has been the ultimate local resource to find recreational vehicles for the whole family to enjoy. Not only do they carry a huge selection of new and pre-owned vehicles, including motorcycles, ATVs, side-by-sides, dirt bikes and SeaDoo watercraft, they also carry the complete line of Honda lawn mowers, trimmers, generators and the new innovative robotic lawn mower, Miimo.

Additionally, they offer practical, everyday work equipment, including utility vehicles, lawn and garden power equipment and generators.

“Best place to buy motorcycles! Everyone was super nice!” ~ Julie H. For years, Honda of Winston-Salem was located on Stratford Road.

And while their location was a great spot, when an opportunity to move presented itself, they jumped on it. Their new location is adjacent to Clemmons and remains central, but is far more accessible.

The new location also enjoys the added benefit of being visible directly from the Interstate. It’s now more convenient for those who travel a far distance for their excellent service and large-volume pricing.

The staff at Honda of Winston-Salem is engaging, friendly, and, best of all, experts in their industry. They understand the products they sell and know how to direct their customers to the best products to fit their unique interests and needs. With such a great inventory, it could be an easy place to get overwhelmed…but with the professional guidance of the Honda of Winston-Salem team, that’s all kept under control.

One exciting new addition is the Sea-Doo Switch – a pontoon boat. This is a great, family-friendly way to enjoy the water! This addition to the Honda of Winston-Salem inventory allows for a full, comprehensive selection of outdoor recreation options!

“Got an oil change, inspection, and some new tires installed on my bike at the new Clemmons location as soon as it opened. Friendly staff, great service, and great prices. I’ll definitely be back!” ~ Noah M. Honda of Winston-Salem offers a full-service department for regular upkeep and maintenance of all recreational vehicles and equipment, including oil changes and inspections.

An Artist’s View of the Village

Local artist and entrepreneur Dawn Stevens has found that

heartfelt designs can truly bring people together.

She credits a high school art class as the catalyst to her creative pursuits as an adult, as well as finding an inspired hobby amid the pandemic.

“Art has always been a hobby,” she says. “One that has included volunteering to paint backdrops and props for church plays, and simply enjoying craft projects.”

Having relocated to the Clemmons area in 2014, Dawn and her husband were thankful to already have family living here, especially when the pandemic arrived in 2020. Like

On a lucky day in early 2022, Dawn met Shannon Ford, Director of Marketing and Communications for The Village of Clemmons, at one of the Farmers Market Artisan Saturdays.

Dawn recalls, “Shannon approached me in August 2022 about the possibility of creating the artwork for the Tourism/Relocation guide.

She and her team had a very clear vision of the direction they wanted to take for the 2023 issue—presenting a list of historical landmarks, nationally recognized local brands, and other local points of interest that appealed to both visitors and folks moving into the area. I love knowing the cover tells a story through art of the ingenuity and fortitude that founded Clemmons, and still exists today.”

This time of year, Dawn keeps busy with art festivals and holiday craft fairs, and she is working on a set of greeting cards featuring Clemmons landmarks. In addition to incredible support from her family, the community, and the Clemmons Farmers Market Artisan Saturdays, she’s thrilled that several local stores are carrying her products, including Southernmood in Mocksville, Out of the Box Consignment in Clemmons, Clemmons Country Store, Flawsome in Lewisville, Ketchie Creek in Clemmons and Mocksville, and Angelina’s Teas and The Cricket’s Nest in Winston-Salem. Dawn continues to be grateful for a community that embraces her creative efforts.

CHRIS PAUL

COURT EIGHTEEN SEASONS IN THE NBA, A ROOKIE OF THE YEAR AWARD, ONE ALL-STAR GAME MVP, TWO OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALS, TWELVE ALL-STAR SELECTIONS, NINE ALL-DEFENSIVE SELECTIONS, ELEVEN ALL-NBA SELECTIONS, FIVE SEASONS AS THE NBA’S ASSIST LEADER, AND SIX TIMES AS THE NBA’S STEALS LEADER. These accolades give a brief description of the career of Chris Paul at the professional level, but his basketball career actually started here, in Clemmons, North Carolina at West Forsyth High School. In honor of the legacy that Paul has developed over the last eighteen years, the court at his high school Alma Mater was dedicated in his name on September 1st and is now referred to as “Chris Paul Court” in Harold Simpson Gymnasium at West Forsyth High School.

When asked about what this dedication means to the community and the school, West Forsyth Principal Kevin Spainhour said, “I think it’s a way for our community and the school to really honor his legacy and the things that the Paul family stands for. Those character traits that they really preach with work ethic, discipline, and loyalty are things that we talk about with our own students. And West Forsyth has a great partnership with our community at large. We had council members, the mayor, and other Clemmons folks at the dedication. It was a good way to come together as a community and a school.”

In high school, Paul was more than just a basketball player. He was an honor-roll student, served as class president, and had an abundance of care for his

fellow students and his community. A player of Paul’s caliber could have easily showed up to class, gone to practice, played in the games, and headed home. This was not the type of person Chris Paul was then or is now, and it is for this reason that the court is dedicated in his name. He was more than just a jersey.

After high school, Paul spent two years playing point guard at Wake Forest, leading the Demon Deacons to their first number one ranking in school history at the beginning of the 2005 season. He earned All-ACC honors in both of his seasons at Wake Forest, was a consensus first-team All-American, and has since had his jersey number retired by the University to hang in the rafters forever.

Paul shared this special moment with his parents, Charles and Robin Paul, and his older brother, C.J. The magic of the moment was not lost on them and seeing Paul’s name on the court that he grew up practicing on for years brought on plenty of the emotion one would expect from such an occasion.

Principal Spainhour was asked about the effect on the school and the community at large, and he said, “Anytime you can bring a recognizable, highly successful person, especially one who’s an alumnus, on your campus, there’s an impact on the students.

After September 1st, there was a buzz among the students. The students had a lot of questions about it, and it just created an excitement around the whole thing. Young people need something to be hopeful for these days, and in a lot of ways that’s what this meant. It created opportunities for hope and to dream big dreams, which is something Chris talked about when he spoke at the dedication. Clearly that means something from an NBA legend who got his start right here. He’s very genuine and authentic and was able to speak to the student body as a very real, down to earth guy.”

A Good FIT for Community and Individuals

by MEAGAN JOHNSON photos by JODIE BRIM CREATIVE

Located

just a couple of miles from downtown Winston-Salem, minutes from Ardmore and nestled right next to West Salem, you’ll find Washington Park.

In addition to beautiful 100+ year old historic homes, this neighborhood has so much to offer. A few of its highlights are a beer garden (Southside Beer Garden), neighborhood barber shop (Washington Park Barber), a convenience store that sells the best fried chicken (J&Js), a coffee shop (Coffee Shed), the perfect casual breakfast or lunch spot (Acadia Foods), a quaint neighborhood pub (Swaim’s), a vintage clothing store (Elevated Weirdo), an eclectic live music venue and bar (Monstercade) and the most recent addition?

Washington Park CrossFit. The building that is now home to Washington Park CrossFit, has been a host of other businesses over the years. What started as a pharmacy under various ownership, including the original Crown Drugs, became a laundromat and a furniture store just to name a few. After sitting vacant for several years, a gym was a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Scott Tyler, Brooke Eagle and Gavin Culler were excited to bring this dream to life. They all have a passion for bringing their community together through fitness.

“I love the constant coaching and the community. Everyone gets a warm welcome!”

– Nikki H.

Washington Park CrossFit is a diverse community of likeminded individuals. Members range in age from early 20s to mid 60s and all have vastly different skill levels and goals. The coaches at Washington Park CrossFit tailor each workout to meet your current skill and fitness level and aim to help you become a better athlete (and no, you don’t have to currently play sports to be considered an athlete). Whether that’s learning how to improve your form and mobility so you can properly squat or if it’s something more advanced like working towards a goal “The coaches are amazing of power cleaning your body weight or mastering and there is no need to have a bar muscle up, they can experience in CrossFit or help you get there.

Olympic lifts. They’ll teach you everything. Gavin’s coaching and classes have been a great asset to my fitness program.”

- Christina B.

CrossFit is “functional fitness,” meaning each movement is rooted in improving an athlete’s daily life. Think: squats for getting up and down

from a seated position, deadlifts for picking things up off the ground, etc. Establishing proper technique won’t only help you get stronger while minimizing risk of injury today, but continues to help you be proficient with these daily movements for as long as possible over the course of your life! Getting stronger (at any age) has incredible health benefits and does wonders for building confidence.

The members at Washington Park CrossFit love fitness of course, but they love the community aspect of the gym.

When you spend time with the same people three, four, five times a week, you build a relationship with them!

What can you expect during class? Classes last one hour and once you complete the warm up, you’ll move on to a gymnastics or weightlifting skill portion of class and end the class with a metabolic conditioning workout to get your heartrate up.

The best part about CrossFit? It’s constantly varied.

Workouts are constantly switched up and you’ll never be bored. Members can track workouts through the available app and website so they can see progress over time.

Classes are offered in the mornings, lunchtime and evenings. FREE community WODs (“workout of the day” CrossFit terminology) are offered every Saturday at 10am and you can find the full class schedule on their website, washingtonparkcrossfit.com.

Washington Park CrossFit offers a one-week free trial! Come check it out for a few classes to see if it’s a good fit for you! Sign up for your free trial at washingtonparkcrossfit.com.

Washington Park CrossFit is located at 2020 Hollyrood Street in Winston-Salem. Follow them on Instagram, @washingtonparkcrossfit and check out membership options, the workouts for the week and the complete class schedule at washingtonparkcrossfit.com.

THE fancy FORK

BY LAUREN SEPHTON

PHOTOGRAPHY BY LAUREN SEPHTON

Welcome to The Fancy Fork! Your hub for seasonal produce insight and farm-style recipes that are made to satisfy.

1-HOUR SOFT CINNAMON ROLLS

5. Cover with Saran Wrap and let the dough rest in the oven with the light on for 10 minutes.

This Cinnamon Rolls Recipe takes less than 1 hour to make, gooey on the inside, and soft on the edges!

7. Roll out the dough 12”x18” rectangle, about 1/4” thick.

INGREDIENTS FOR THE DOUGH: • 1 cup Warm Milk • 1 tbsp. Instant Dry Yeast • 2 tbsp. Brown Sugar • 1 tsp. Fine Sea Salt • 3 tbsp. Softened Butter, or Olive Oil • 1 large Egg • 3 cups All Purpose Flour • 2/3 cup Heavy Cream FOR THE FILLING: • 1/2 cup Softened Butter • 1 cup Brown Sugar • 2 tbsp. Ground Cinnamon FOR THE ICING: • 4 oz. Cream Cheese, softened • 1/4 cup Salted Butter, softened • 1 cup Powdered Sugar • 1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract • 1 tbsp. Milk INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CINNAMON ROLLS: 1. Preheat oven to 200F. 2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm milk, ye st, and sugar. Lightly whisk together, then set aside for 6-8 minutes to activate the yeast.

3. Add the egg, salt, and butter.

Whisk to combine.

4. Add the flour. Using the hook attachment, knead the dough on LOW for 2 minutes. Increase speed to Medium-High to knead for 5 more minutes. The dough should be soft and pliable. Adjust with milk (if too dry) or flour (if too sticky), if needed.

6. While resting, lightly flour a clean surface.

8. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough. The butter shouldn’t be melted but should spread over the dough easily.

9. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together.

Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

10. Roll up the dough tightly.

11. Cut the cinnamon rolls using a thin string or dental floss to be 1 1/2” - 2” thick slices.

12. Place into a lightly greased pan.

Cover with Saran Wrap.

13. Turn the oven OFF. Place the cinnamon rolls in the heated oven to rise 20 minutes.

14. After 20 minutes, quickly pour the heavy cream over the cinnamon rolls.

Then place back into the oven.

15. Leaving them in the oven, turn the oven ON to 375F. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until brown on top.

FOR THE ICING: 1. Beat the softened cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.

2. Add the powdered sugar and milk.

Beat until soft and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.

3. Fold in the vanilla extract.

4. Let the cinnamon rolls cool for 2-3 minutes before adding the icing.

first look

at the 2023 Women on the Move

BY TARYN JEREZ

There is magic in the making as we countdown to Monday, March 20th for the 2023 “Women on the Move Leadership Conference ‘’ hosted by Forsyth Woman Magazines. We hope you will join us for the second year of bringing our monthly “Women on the Move” column to life in conference form. “Women on the Move” has highlighted the incredible accomplishments of women in our community since Forsyth Woman’s inception 16 years ago!

This year’s full day event is made possible with the generosity of our presenting sponsor, Renewal Med Spa at Salem Plastic Surgery, and will bring together our community’s incredible women who are ready to learn and grow both personally and professionally. Attendees can expect to take part in an inspiring and empowering event at the gorgeous Winmock at Kinderton in Bermuda Run surrounded by hosts, speakers, sponsors, and attendees who are ready to show up for each other and themselves.

EMPOWERING OUR COMMUNITY OF WOMEN Forsyth Woman has brought together a group of powerhouse ladies from our community—from those in business, to owners and entrepreneurs, for a day full of impactful presentations, networking, shopping, food & drinks, and much more.

“Forsyth Woman is thrilled to be hosting this conference again this year! We feel it perfectly aligns with our mission of celebrating women,” said Brooke Eagle, Publisher of Forsyth Woman Magazine. “Seeing this conference bring our column to life was so amazing last year! The empowerment, love, support, kindness, and good vibes that were felt throughout the entire day were absolutely beautiful. I was honored by the feedback we received from attendees for literally weeks afterward and can’t wait to serve the women in our community again this year!”

A CONFERENCE EXPERIENCE DESIGNED WITH YO U I N M I N D If you attended the inaugural conference last year, then you got a taste of what a delicious event this is, but trust us…2023 is going to be taking it up a notch!

This event has been created for women of all ages and all walks of life. Attendees do not need to be a business owner or in any specific niche for this event to make an impact! Brooke shared that, “Each and every one of our speakers were strategically and thoughtfully chosen to ensure every woman gets so much out of this experience! We want you to come as you are and know you are exactly where you need to be!”
