13th Semi-Annual Reading Day Dinner at the Homeplace!

And now for an important message from Joe:

Hello Y’all,

This Thursday is Reading Day – the break between regularly scheduled classes and exams. Classes are coming to a close, and exams are set to begin, so you (Yes, YOU!) should take some time to recharge for them. Join us this Thursday for the 13th Semi-Annual Reading Day Dinner at the Homeplace! God-willing, it should be EPIC.

If you’ve never been to the Homeplace or heard about its wonders, let me fill you in right now with some reasons why you should check it out:
(1) The Homeplace is a delicious all-you-can-eat restaurant in Catawba (out near Dragon’s Tooth and McAfee Knob along the AT, if you’re familiar with either of them).
(2) The food is delicious country-style food – fried chicken, roast beef, mashed potatoes, green beans, pinto beans, biscuits, apple butter, and a side of the day (which is usually corn or apples or something similar).
(3) This all-you-can-eat food is served directly to the table – you don’t have to get up until it’s time to go (well, unless the fire alarm goes off or something…)!
(4) After you’re done eating, they bring you fruit cobbler (perhaps apple or blackberry, etc.) and ice cream. They’ll even bring you coffee if you want it.
(5) Thursday is BBQ day, so they also should be bringing out plenty of pulled pork and cole slaw!

We’re planning to meet up at the campus house at 4:30pm to carpool there. It costs around $15 + a tip (so about $18) and is extremely worth it (especially if you come hungry).

Classes should be over (except exams), and you’re going to eat dinner anyways, so why not join us?

God Bless,
Joseph W. Starr


Thanks, Joe, for rounding us up for this long-lived CCVT tradition.

For those who may be wondering, we will probably make it back to campus sometime between 8 and 9pm.

Also, bear in mind, that $18 Joe was mentioning includes your drink, dessert, and even tax! So $18 is the true, total end price. So, not really much more than you would end up paying at a lot of other restaurants when all is said and done, and most of those aren't all you care to eat, and the food is not as good either. Plus the whole experience of eating family style is one of the funnest things about The Homeplace, too. You don't get that at the other restaurants.

Hope you can join us. It's always fun.

Thanks.
Steve
