Invited guests sampled the new menu at The Floyd Country Store Thursday night as owner Woody Crenshaw opened the lunch counter for business this weekend. The lunch counter will be open for lunch on Fridays and Saturdays through June when Crenshaw plans to open during the week.

The menu includes sandwiches (barbeque, buffao sloppy joes, blt, cheese and bacon), hot dogs, soups, pinto beans and more.

Crenshaw (below) says he wanted to recreate an old-fashioned soda fountain and lunch counter and has succeeded. The milk shakes are sinful, the sundaes tempting and the atmosphere enticing.
