Watauga County Brawl

The Watauga County Sheriff’s Department hosted the Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling “Watauga County Brawl” wrestling event at Watauga High School Friday April 21st. Several former WWE wrestlers were on the card. The card included Matt Hardy, Scott Steiner, the Rock-N-Roll Express and The Barbarian. The ladies made signs and were really pumped up about being able to see their favorite wrestlers battle it out. Maria who has been a wrestling fan for most of her life said that attending this event was a dream come true. Everyone enjoyed themselves.

Joy Cove Goes to Bo’s

The residents and staff traveled to Bo’s in Lenior for unlimited bowling, lazer tag, and arcade games. All of the residents had a great time and went to Wendy’s for dinner afterwards. The staff even got to enjoy the games. Everyone had a great time playing around and hanging out with their family. Wendy’s in Lenoir were so great to staff and residents. They gave the van drivers a free meal and gave everyone a free frosty of their choice. We are very grateful to have the opportunity to eat with them on this outing.

Happy Birthday Maria!

The residents and staff would like to say Happy Birthday to Maria! She celebrated her birthday on May 1st. The residents made her a birthday cake and gave her a party!
