This is the BIG weekend!
Time for Coosa Fest 2008 and a great one is in store!
It will all begin with breakfast at the Grist Mill, and what a feast! Here will be hot biscuits, eggs, bacon, sausage, and sorghum syrup for sopping! And of course, there will be plenty of good ole’ grits, made right there at the mill.
At 10 a.m., a painting of the Grist Mill, done by Sylacauga artist, Shirley Pody will be unveiled, and among honored guests attending the event will be Congressman Mike Rogers.
There will be special events in downtown Childersburg all day, with plenty of good food and entertainment. The Grits and Cornbread contest will take place again this year, so whip up your favorite recipe and join in!
And while you’re at it, get a few recipes to me for our annual Holiday Cookbook!
Lots of folks are still talking about how much they enjoyed Coosa Valley Medical Center’s Community Links program, which was featured Monday morning at Rainwater Library. Dr. Shankar Yalamanchili, (Dr. Chili), hospital psychiatrist, was guest speaker and he talked about Alzheimer’s, Dementia and Depression among the Elderly. This is a very timely subject for many families who are facing these issues right now.
The folks from Coosa Valley will be back next month for another informative program. It begins at noon, and you should come about 11:30 a.m. Bring a sandwich for lunch and they will furnish dessert and drink. We will keep you posted.
