Drive the Devil's Tromping Ground

26 intrepid drivers joined us on a rainy day for our yearly drive to the Devil's Tromping Ground and to the Southern Fruitcake and More. The group was treated to delicious samples and then wondered around the facility looking for treasures to take home. Lunch at the Carolina Brewery followed.

Exploring the wares

Lunch at Carolina Brewery

We had a full house for our last dinner meeting of the year at the Carolina Ale House. We took this opportunity to honor Allie Shealy, our server. She came in on Thursday evenings just for us. To reward her service we circulated a goodie envelope for her and awarded her a PCA nametag, engraved pen and flashlight set, and Jim Proper rewarded her with a Porsche hat.
