Let's Do brunch!
Thursday, February 15 at 10 am
This Thursday, February 15, 2024, the lovely ladies of South Fork will be exploring a new venue for their monthly gathering. Pale Morning Coffee, located in the same building as An Angler's Bookcase, will host this event, beginning at 10AM. Pale Morning Coffee features a warm fireplace, fantastic breakfast burritos, Amish-made fried pies, and a coffee selection that would make Starbucks jealous. And BOOKS; if you are a fisherman or know one or just enjoy books in general, you can spend hours browsing here. If you have not visited Catherine and Craig there yet, this is your perfect opportunity. And if you already know about South Fork's little secret hideaway, you'll understand why this will be the perfect place for this month's SFFF Ladies Gathering.
