FEATURED OPINIONS

Dancing at the Trinity Community Center

This week, I am writing an article about the Independence Day celebrations going on in the area.

I started my celebrating early when I attended a dance in Saluda Saturday night.
The dance had a patriotic theme and most attendees wore red, white and blue. We were given a flag pin and a small flag as souvenirs at the door. Admission is $5.

You can't beat that. And the food was something else. In a separate room, they had makings for sub sandwiches, chicken wings, chips, a red, white and blue cake - the works!

Everything was decorated in keeping with the July 4th holiday just days away.

This wasn't the first time I had been to this dance.

FEATURED COMMUNITY

Welcome to Barrister's Coffee House and Tea Room

When Mary Altalo moved to Edgefield one year ago, she was looking for a place to have a latte and a scone for breakfast one morning and couldn'’t find one.

"I decided if I was going to have to make my own, I might as well make enough for the whole town," she said.

Barristers Coffee House and Tea Room opened recently on Simpkins Street in Edgefield and features such delicacies as banana walnut and cranberry orange muffins; freshly baked croissants; blueberry or "everything" bagels; fruit and yogurt parfaits; espresso drinks; blended frozen coffee drinks; and fruit drinks. Its hours are Monday through Saturday, 7:30 a.m.-11 a.m. and 2-5 p.m.; and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon.
