Chicken On The Cashie

The Annual Bertie County Fire Department benefit called the "Chicken on the Cashie" was held yesterday at the Cashie Golf and Country Club. Though weather was threatening all day, the golfers managed to get in a great day of golf with only a few small sprinkles. The weather kept the temperature down so it was actually a pretty comfortable day.

Making a tour of the course, we found quite a few different styles of play were being used. Here are a few of the players making their shots.

A few of the teams were dressed up like professionals with team colors and all. Here is one of the better dressed groups.

The players on the teams were entertained all day by a mother deer and her two fawns. They were enjoying playing on the golf course and they kept dashing out and crossing the fairways all day long.

As the tournament wound down, the volunteers started to prepare for the evening meal that is part of the event. The weather which had been threatening all day seemed more and more likely to turn into rain and everyone was concered about whether they could get the meal in.

Volunteers simply hoped for the best and kept preparing the chicken that would be needed if the rain held off. These people are simply the best. They work to save our lives all year long, and on this day, they prepare the best chicken in the world. I got to sample some of the chicken and it was awesome.
