The Tri-County Shrine Club is in the final planning stages of the annual Fish Fry to benefit Shriners Children’s Hospitals. The menu is the same, but Shriner Donald Seifert said the May 14 event will take place in a new location and customers can enjoy an eat-in option.
“We’ve missed the eat-in option,” Seifert said on Wednesday’s TownTalk. But this year, Tony and Tammy Sanford are hosting the fish fry at their business on Raleigh Road, right across from the headquarters of Rebuilding Hope, Inc.
“It’s really a neat place,” he said, adding that the interior of the former Toyota showroom has been transformed into a 1950’s style diner. “Tony Sanford and his wife Tammy have been really gracious to offer their facility,” Seifert said, a central location with easy access and plenty of parking.
Eat in or pick up plates from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tickets are $10, and 100 percent of the proceeds go to the Shriners Hospital for Children, which provides top-quality care – free of charge – to children.
“The cost to them is zero – there’s never a bill,” Seifert said. It’s a cause worth supporting, and the local community has supported the Shriners for 60 years. Seifert said the best he can tell, this will be the 61st year that Shriners and countless volunteers have come together to produce plates of perfectly fried fish with all the trimmings.
“We try to furnish a good plate of fish for the money. I don’t think you can beat it,” he said. “I know you can’t beat the cause.”
Businesses who wish to purchase plates can call Seifert at 252.438.8355 to arrange delivery of 10 plates or more.
