Last Friday afternoon Clara Springs Camp held a Bar-B-Q chicken dinner at their camp.  This Friday they will hold the traditional forth Friday fish fry.

Director Bubba Mills did the cooking.  He said it took all day long to cook lots and lots of chicken leg quarters.  There was great red potato with mustard potato salad.  The beans were phenomenal.  But whoever baked the tons of cobbler served really deserves an award.  They could have taken the easy route by supplying a slice of pound cake for desert, but not the Clara Springs bunch.

They served between 180 and 200 plates last Friday.  But that was a warm-up.

Mills told The Journal they were trying out serving a meal outside of the dining hall.  They planned and executed the plan.  The meals came together.  There were greeters to meet each vehicle and take the order.  There was a drive-thru line for diners wishing to take the meal to go.  And there was plenty of “outdoors” for folks wishing to dine on the grounds.

The real test will come this Friday evening for their monthly fish fry.  It is not uncommon for Clara Springs to serve in the area of 400 meals on a Friday fish fry.  So they are gearing up for this weekend.

A personal note:  I hope they have cobbler this Friday also.
