'TEA TIME ON THE TRAIN' for 2021 was on Saturday, December 4, for 100 pampered guests supporting the Sandhills Woman's Exchange. It was perfect weather, beautiful china settings, attentive aproned waitresses, the Mayor and train Captain, raffle baskets, Junior orchestra music, hats, tea and desserts to take home.

Three Musketeers at Sunrise

Silent Movie Night – The Three Musketeers

Last night's 'Three Musketeers' silent movie with Douglas Fairbanks was a blast! There were ooohs, ahhs, snickers and outright laughter as the tinkling piano keys played steady, soft and dramatically throughout the film. Ron Layne of SCC introduced the film and gave SWE President a bottle of champagne and roses for our 100th. Our piano player, Nathan Shirley, earned a standing ovation for the two hour performance. Of course, guests posed with the three musketeers upon arriving. Fun night for the SWE!!!
