Hope your studying for exams is going great, and you are feeling ready to show your professors how much you've learned this semester.
Hey, don't miss our last official event of the semester which will be our semiannual outing to The Homeplace restaurant this Saturday. This delicious tradition started five years ago and we've been going to The Homeplace restaurant at the end of each semester ever since. We're doing it again this Saturday, and we hope you will join us.
If you don't know about The Homeplace restaurant, you are missing out. Most people I know would say it's the best restaurant within an hour's drive of Blacksburg. It's out in the country in a very small town called Catawba, about a half hour from here, near Roanoke. They make the most delicious southern style food like country ham, fried chicken, and roast beef, with green beans, coleslaw, pinto beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, and other fruits or vegetables of the day, and apple butter for your buttermilk biscuits, and really good sweet tea or lemonade, and fruit cobbler for dessert. All of this is served "family style" where you all sit around a huge table and pass the food around and put however much you want on your plate and pass it on to the next person. And the servers just keep bringing the food out until everybody has had as much as they want to eat.
All of this only costs about 15 dollars -- all you can eat, remember -- and it even includes your drink, dessert, and tax. The only thing you need to add is the tip.
So take a much needed study break and come on out to join us. And feel free to bring a friend with you. Just meet at the campus house at 4:30pm and we'll carpool from there. We'll probably get back to campus around 8:30 or 9pm.
If you are so blessed as to have a ticket to the Georgia Southern vs. VT basketball game Saturday, that game starts at 2pm, so you should be getting out at just the perfect time to walk on over to the campus house from Cassell Coliseum to carpool with us to The Homeplace to celebrate another Hokie victory, and the end of another great semester at VT.
Key facts: 4:30pm Saturday, at the campus house. 15 dollars plus tip.
Hope you can join us.
