Prom 2009


It's prom time again!  All of the Deerfield girls have been dieting, and working out hard so that they can look amazing in their beautiful dresses.  All of their hard work will be rewarded by a delicious meal at the Shackleford House.  The majority of the senior girls and their dates are going to take pictures, and to eat at the Shackleford House.  The Shackleford House is known for its beautiful atmosphere, and its scrumptious catering.  The menu for Saturday night will be salad with fruit and raspberry vinaigrette, beef tenderloin,  stuffed chicken,  steamed asparagus,  red pot mashed potatoes, and strawberry crepes for dessert.  After this delicious meal the seniors will load onto the big party bus and head to prom.  The bus will be filled with loud music, and a lot of dancing!  When the seniors arrive at prom they will participate in the senior walk, and following the walk, two lucky seniors will be crowned prom queen and king.  After all the ceremonious events the real party will begin, and everyone will be able to dance and have a good time.  After the dance the seniors will be going to a seniors house to enjoy a tasty breakfast prepared by all of the participating mothers.  Although there is a lot of stress and drama in preparing for prom, the night is always one to remember.  Prom meals are always extravagantly good, but this year seniors are really getting treated.  The seniors are known for always having a good time, and prom will be no exception.  This will definitely be a meal the senior will always remember!

Owning a local restaurant can be a risky business, unless you’re the owner of Daphne’s Lodge. Daphne’s Lodge is a warm, hospitable restaurant located in Cordele, Georgia that has been a family owned business since 1952. Daphne’s Lodge has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The restaurant has also appeared in Southern Living, and was also featured on the cover of one of Southern Living’s cookbooks. Everything on Daphne’s menu is to-die-for delicious, from their award-winning catfish to their mouth-watering filet mignon, everything is a winner.
Mr. Burt, one of the owners at Daphne’s says that they really focus on making their customers feel comfortable. Daphne’s puts an emphasis on little details. Daphne’s has a southern, home feel to it, from the white rocking chairs on the front porch, to the gorgeous fireplace in the middle of the dining room. “We are really fortunate that we have been open for this many years, and we are extremely lucky to have been featured in major magazines such as Southern Living, but we work really hard to please anyone and everyone that walks through our doors,” says Mr. Burt. “The most important thing any restaurant can do, that can help to their success, is to be hospitable to their guests.”
